The interleukin gene cluster on humanchromosome 5q31 was selected for large scalesequencing because it contains a number of functionally related genes and is therefore likely to yield novel cytokine gene candidates through sequence analysis. Full article >>>
A particular subgroup of homeobox genes are the Hox genes, which are found in a special gene cluster, the Hox cluster (also called Hox complex). Hox genes function in patterning the body axis. Full article >>>
