Evolutionary Novelty in a Butterfly Wing Pattern through Enhancer Shuffling.

Evolutionary Novelty in a Butterfly Wing Pattern through Enhancer Shuffling.

An important goal in evolutionary biology is to understand the genetic changes underlying novel morphological structures. We investigated the origins of a complex wing pattern found among Amazonian Heliconius butterflies. Genome sequence data from 142 individuals across 17 species identified narrow...
