    Glossary Gene Clusters

    groups of related genes located close together on a chromosome

    Gene clusters, also known as gene groupings or genetic clusters, are groups of two or more genes located close to each other on a chromosome that are often functionally related. These genes are typically co-regulated and may be involved in similar biological processes, such as the production of enzymes in a metabolic pathway or the development of specific tissues. For example, in the context of hair biology, a gene cluster might include several genes that collectively influence hair growth and pigmentation.
