Heliconius erato erato strain:French Guiana Genome sequencing

The wing color patterns of Heliconius butterflies show extraordinary divergence within species and striking convergence between species. We use whole genome resequencing of individuals from hybrid zones across Central and South America to investigate the genetic basis and evolutionary history of adaptive wing color pattern variation.

釉蛱蝶属（Heliconius）蝴蝶的翅色图案在物种内部展现出极高的分化程度，同时在不同物种间呈现出显著的趋同演化特征。本研究通过对中美洲及南美洲各杂交带（hybrid zones）的个体进行全基因组重测序（whole genome resequencing），旨在探究适应性翅色图案变异的遗传基础及其演化历史。
