Abstract: This invention provides a method for predicting a gene cluster including secondary metabolism-related genes with high accuracy, independent of information concerning core genes. Such method comprises: a step of identifying a region the gene arrangement of which is conserved in nucleotide sequence information of another genome as a gene cluster on the basis of the results of homology search conducted with the use of nucleotide sequence information of at least a pair of genomes; and a step of determining whether or not the gene cluster of interest includes secondary metabolism-related gems on the basis of the proportion of synteny-like regions within the gene cluster identified by the above step.
