The genetic basis of wing patterning in the mimetic butterfly Heliconius melpomene

The positioning of wing pattern elements is controlled by pattern ‘switch’ loci which map to the same genomic regions in multiple species. Here two of these regions have been characterized in detail for the first time. Using fine scale recombinational mapping two pattern ‘switch’ loci of major effec...
