Multigene family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multigene families occur when several similar genes exist in multiple copies in the same region of DNA. They are very similar and may differ by a few nucleotides. They occur in clusters and differ from tandem clusters. They are speculated to have come from unequal crossing overs in meiosis.
