centimrogen

Centimorgan refers to a unit of measurement used in genetics and biology to describe the distance between two genetic markers on a chromosome. It is a fundamental concept in the study of inheritance and the mapping of genes.

The term centimorgan was coined by Haraloimpen and Lewontin in the 1960s as an analogy to the centimeter, which is a unit of measurement for distance in meters. In genetics, the centimorgan is typically used to express the probability of recombination occurring between two genetic markers. A centimorgan is equivalent to approximately 1% recombination frequency.

In simple terms, the higher the centimorgan value, the farther apart two genetic markers are on a chromosome, and the more likely recombination will occur between them. This concept is essential in genetic mapping, where researchers try to locate specific genes on chromosomes and understand their relationship with particular traits or disorders.

A centimorgan is commonly used in genomic analyses of humans, crops, and other organisms, as well as in research involving medical genetics.
