Hi all

I am writing up my thesis and wrote "islet" on a section of the chromosome containing multiple genes (loci), but then my supervisor circled islet and said "you mean locus? how different?" Therefore, I'd like to make sure that and islet is not just one locus but a region of multiple loci....if that is the case, then what is the difference between an islet and an operon?

Thanks
