Länkagekartläggning
Länkagekartläggning, or linkage mapping, is a genetic technique used to determine the relative positions of genes on a chromosome. It relies on the principle that genes located close together on the same chromosome are less likely to be separated during meiosis, a process of cell division that produces gametes. These genes are said to be "linked."
The process involves observing the inheritance patterns of traits controlled by different genes across multiple generations
The unit of measurement for genetic distance in linkage mapping is the centimorgan (cM). One centimorgan represents
