Auteur : Conseil de recherches médicales du Canada,Définition
Any group of two or more closely linked (contiguous) genes on a chromosome that are related functionally.
Note :
Genes of a gene cluster are usually structural cistrons coding for various steps (enzymes) in a particular metabolic pathway. A gene cluster may behave as a unit in the transfer of information under the control of an operator and then represents an operon. However, not all gene clusters are operons.
