Optix and cortex/ivory/mir-193 again: the repeated use of two mimicry hotspot loci

Anna Orteu,

et al.

Abstract: The extent to which evolution is repeatable has been a debated topic among evolutionary biologists. Although rewinding the tape of life perhaps would not lead to the same outcome every time, repeated evolution of analogous genes for similar functions has been extensively reported. Wing phenotypes of butterflies and moths have provided a wealth of examples of gene re-use, with certain ‘hotspot loci’ controlling wing patterns across diverse taxa. Here, we present an example of convergent evolution in the molecul… Show more
