Supergene
text:
A supergene is a chromosomal region encompassing multiple neighboring genes that are inherited together because of close genetic linkage, i.e. much less recombination than would normally be expected. This mode of inheritance can be due to genomic rearrangements between supergene variants. A supergene region can contain few, functionally related genes that clearly contribute to a shared phenotype.
