supergenen.

Brit.

/ˈsupərˌdʒin/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: super- prefix, gene n.²

Etymology: < super- prefix + gene n.² In sense 1 after German Obergen ( J. von Uexküll Bausteine einer biologischen Weltanschauung (1913) 216).

Genetics.

1. In the terminology of J. von Uexküll: any of the hypothetical higher-level ordering factors supposed to regulate and coordinate the activity of other genes in a developing embryo. disused. rare.

ΚΠ

1916 J. Loeb Organism as Whole i. 5 There must be something that makes of the work of the single genes a harmonious whole, and for this purpose he [sc. von Uexküll] assumes the existence of ‘supergenes’.

1918 Bot. Gaz. 65 275 Von Uexküll's ‘supergenes’ are briefly considered and discarded as superfluous.

2. A group of closely linked genes which are adjacent to each other on a chromosome, frequently have related functions, and tend to act as a unit, though they are usually independently regulated.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: super- prefix, English -gene , -gen comb. form.

Etymology: < super- prefix + -gene, variant of -gen comb. form (see -gen comb. form 3), after epigene adj. Compare earlier hypogene adj.Coined by F. L. Ransome (see quot. 1914).

Geology.

Of an ore or mineral: deposited or enriched by precipitation from mineral-rich water percolating downwards; involving or involved in deposition or enrichment of this kind.
