Abstract excerpt
In this chapter, we focus on maps and markers used for a linkage analysis. More detail regarding the actual linkage analysis methodology follows in Chapter 11. There are two major types of maps: genetic maps and physical maps. Genetic maps indicate the expected number of meiotic crossover events between two loci on a chromosome and are measured in centiMorgans (cM). Physical maps use molecular techniques, such as...
