<p>A <b>gene family</b> is a set of several similar genes, formed by duplication of a single original <a href="page.php?w=gene">gene</a>, and generally with similar biochemical functions. One such family are the genes for human <a href="page.php?w=hemoglobin">hemoglobin</a> subunits; the ten genes are in two clusters on different chromosomes, called the <a href="page.php?w=Hemoglobin%2C_alpha_1">?-globin</a> and <a href="page.php?w=Human_%3F-globin_locus">?-globin</a> loci.
