In eukaryotic cells, most genes are on linear chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell. Some genes are on the circular chromosomes of mitochondria and chloroplasts.

In prokaryotes, most genes are on the single circular chromosome in the nucleoid region of the cell. Other genes are on small circular molecules of DNA called plasmids.

So basically, they are in the nucleus region :)
