Avbildningsmarkörer
Avbildningsmarkörer are specific genetic or phenotypic markers used to construct genetic linkage maps of organisms. The term originates from Swedish, where “avbildning” means mapping and “markör” means marker. These markers help researchers determine the relative positions of genes on chromosomes by identifying recombination frequencies between co‑herited loci.
In plant genetics, avbildningsmarkörer have played a pivotal role in breeding programs. Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs),
Avbildningsmarkörer are also employed in quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, where they serve as anchors to
Historically, avbildningsmarkörer have evolved alongside advances in molecular biology. Early mapping methods relied on Restriction Fragment
Overall, avbildningsmarkörer constitute an essential toolkit in modern genetics, enabling detailed exploration of genome structure, function,
