(Submitter supplied) We use RNAseq data to perform differential gene expression analysis to identify genes controlling structural colouration in two co-mimetic species of Heliconius butterfly - Heliconius erato and Heliconius melpomene. We use comparisons between iridescent and non-iridescent subspecies of Helcionius erato (H. e. cyrbia and H. e. demophoon, respectively) and Helcionius melpomene (H. m. cythera and H. m. more...

(Submitter supplied) Aposematic color pattern mimicry in Heliconius butterflies provides a well-known example of adaptation via selection on a few genes of large effect. To understand how selection at individual genes can drive the evolution of complex traits, we functionally characterized five novel enhancers of the color pattern gene, optix. In Heliconius erato we found that wing pattern enhancers are largely ancestral, pleiotropic, functionally interdependent, and introgressed between populations. more...

(Submitter supplied) Background: Heliconius butterflies are an excellent model system for studies of adaptive convergent and divergent phenotypic traits. Wing colour patterns are used as signals to both predators and potential mates and are inherited in a Mendelian manner. The underlying genetic mechanisms of pattern formation have been studied for many years and shed light on broad issues, such as the repeatability of evolution. more...
