Fitting genetic mapping functions based on sperm typing: results for three chromosomal segments in cattle.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic mapping functions translate the observed recombination rate between two loci into the corresponding map distance in Morgan units. Different mapping functions give different weights to multiple crossing over and therefore lead to different results. This points out that not every function is best suited to fit a data set. The data used in this study originated from 2214 sperm from 37 Norwegian bulls, which...
