     Evaluation Summary:

     This paper shows complex gene regulation for a simple binary switch phenotype. Cis-regulatory elements that control expression from the promoter of the gene cortex are shown to be evolutionary targets for changing cortex-dependent scale types in a discrete region of the Heliconius hindwing. Multiple approaches are used to identify the likely causal genetic variation in the cortex locus that is responsible for the presence/absence of the yellow band. It is an interesting case showing how a gene with a homogeneous expression pattern across the wing (during the pupal stage) can still have "hidden" modular regulatory regions that drive unique functions (albeit not expression) is specific regions of the wing.
