Genome-wide introgression among distantly related Heliconius butterfly species

BACKGROUND: Although hybridization is thought to be relatively rare in animals, the raw genetic material introduced via introgression may play an important role in fueling adaptation and adaptive radiation. The butterfly genus Heliconius is an excellent system to study hybridization and introgressio...
