Project name: Heliconius melpomene melpomene strain:Colombia

Description: 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.

Data type: genome sequencing

Sample scope: Multiisolate

Relevance: Evolution
