Incomplete recombination suppression fuels extensive haplotype diversity in a butterfly colour pattern supergene.
Supergenes can evolve when recombination-suppressing mechanisms like inversions promote co-inheritance of alleles at two or more polymorphic loci that affect a complex trait. Theory shows that such genetic architectures can be favoured under balancing selection or local adaptation in the face of gen...
