FIGURE3. Variable sites within the 740 in Reply to Andrew Brower's critique of the evidence for hybridization among Heliconius butterfly species in the wild

FIGURE3. Variable sites within the 740 bp Tektin sequence data. For the Genbank sequences from H. melpomene, H. ethilla, and the putative hybrid specimen, all variant sites are shown in order along the 740 bp Tektin partial sequence, with uninformative fixed intervening bases omitted. Variants and two-fold ambiguous (i.e. heterozygous) sites are shown in bold. The following two-fold IUPAC ambiguity codes were found in hybrid 06-921: Y = C/T, R = A/G, K = G/T. For comparison, also shown are aligned bases obtained by BLAST for the haploid whole genome assemblies in Lepbase 4 from two related species H. timareta, and H. pardalinus (Challis et al. 2016).
