Calculating map distance between two genes is an indispensable tool in genetic research and molecular biology. By understanding recombination frequency and converting it into map distance, you can gain valuable insights into gene locations on a chromosome.
A genetic map shows the map distance, in cM, that separates any two loci, and the position of these loci relative to all other mapped loci. The genetic map distance is roughly proportional to the physical distance, i.e., the amount of DNA between two loci.
Determining the Map Distance Between Genes. This video tutorial accompanies Chapter 9 of 'Genetics: Genes, Genomes, and Evolution' by Meneely, Hoang, Okeke, and Heston. ...more.
In genetics, mapping functions are used to model the relationship between map distance (measured in map units or centimorgans) between markers and recombination frequency between markers. One utility of this is that it allows values to be obtained for genetic distances, which is typically not estimable, from recombination fractions, which ...

The simplest way to calculate map distances involves counting the number of recombinants resulting from a genetic cross among progeny and dividing it by the total number of progeny observed. Subsequently, this ratio is multiplied by 100 to express the value in centimorgans (cM). Formula: Map Distance (cM) = (Number of Recombinants / Total ...
Calculate the map distance between loci given the phenotypes of offspring or predict phenotypes of offspring given the recombination frequency between loci. Use the distance to construct genetic maps based on data from two-point or three-point testcrosses.
