Supercluster takes a walk on the wild side.
In a recent Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA paper by Wiemann et al., a gene supercluster for secondary metabolite production in Aspergillus fumigatus is genetically dissected. The analysis demonstrates that gene regulation takes place at different layers and that genes belonging to specific clusters are intertwined.
