Genetic Mapping: Linkage and Recombination

Topic Review on "Title":

Introduction
Genetic mapping is a key tool for classical genetics.  When a phenotype or a disease is observed, it is always desirable to determine where the gene is located. 

Linkage
Linkage means when gametes form, genes are not assorted independently, instead, they are linked together.  This is because these genes are located close to each other on the same chromosome.  Linkage can be tested by chi square. 

Recombination
Genes located close enough can crossover and then recombination occurs. The recombination frequency can be used to measure the genetic distance between two markers: the longer distance, the more recombination events, the higher recombination frequency.

Genetic map
Genetic map is a chromosome map of a species or experimental population that shows the position of its known genes and/or markers relative to each other.  It is based on the frequencies of recombination between markers.  Genetic mapping can be carried out by two-point or three-point testcrosses.

"Title" Tutorial Summary :

A genetic map has all the known genes or genetic markers arranged on chromosome according to their genetic distance.  The map is drawn according to the recombination frequencies of the linked genes.  Genes on different chromosomes belong to different linkage group.  Genetic mapping can also be achieved by advanced techniques such as tetrad analysis, somatic cell hybridization and genome project.
