A conserved supergene locus controls colour pattern diversity in Heliconius butterflies. PLoS Biol 4 (2006) 1831-1840. This study showed that the Yb, Cr, and P loci map to the same chromosomal positions in H. melpomene, H. erato, and H. numata, respectively. This is particularly important because it demonstrates how a single locus can underlie variation in both convergent and divergent color patterns across multiple species.
37. Kronforst M.R., Kapan D.D., and Gilbert L.E. Parallel genetic architecture of parallel adaptive radiations in mimetic Heliconius butterflies. Genetics 174 (2006) 535-539. This comparative mapping study showed that the three H. cydno color pattern genes G, Yb, and Ac map to the same positions as the H. erato genes D, Cr, and Sd, respectively. It also showed that Yb in H. cydno maps to Yb in H. melpomene. This study is significant because it provides the first comparative mapping work for H. cydno, which is closely related to H. melpomene, but looks very different from the comimics H. melpomene and H. erato.

Convergent evolution in the genetic basis of Müllerian mimicry in Heliconius butterflies. Genetics 180 (2008) 1567-1577. This study describes the sequence of the B/D color pattern gene interval in H. melpomene, and shows that this region maps to the same region as the D locus in H. erato.

Highly conserved gene order and numerous novel repetitive elements in genomic regions linked to wing pattern variation in Heliconius butterflies. BMC Genomics 9 (2008) 345. This study describes the genomic sequence intervals of the D and Cr loci in H. erato and shows that these sequences, including gene synteny, are conserved between H. erato, H. melpomene, and B. mori. This is some of the strongest evidence so far that the color pattern genes are homologous at the molecular level.
