Genotypic data and phenotypic measurements used for QTL mapping

1. R script

• QTL_mapping_Brien.R

2. Linkage map files for H. melpomene analysis

• Melp_f2.csv. Colour data for 3 F2 families
• Melp_ec70.csv. Colour data for the EC70 brood only
• Melp_all.csv. Colour data for all 4 families
• Melp_saxs.csv. USAXS data for the EC70 brood only

3. Linkage map files for H. erato analysis

• erato_f2.csv. Colour data for 5 F2 families
• erato_bc.csv. Colour data for the backcross only
• erato_all.csv. Colour data for all families
• erato_saxs.csv. USAXS data for the EC17 brood only

Genomic sequence data from the crosses are deposited in the European Nucleotide Archive under project number PRJEB38330. Photographs of all samples can be found at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3799188.
