Regulation of herpesvirus macromolecular synthesis: transcription-initiation sites and domains of alpha genes.

abstract：:The neotropical Heliconius butterflies are famous examples of Müllerian mimicry, due to the diverse array of shared, brightly colored wing patterns that advertise the butterflies' unpalatability. The parallel geographical variation in these patterns within several widespread species has been invoked to support the con...
