It is possible to determine the approximate distance between genetic markers using cytogenetic mapping, but not the exact distance (number of base pairs). Radiation hybrid mapping uses radiation, such as x-rays, to break the DNA into fragments.
By finding recombination frequencies for many gene pairs, we can make linkage maps that show the order and relative distances of the genes on the chromosome.

This lab’s research regarding gene linkage and recombination challenged the principle of independent assortment and led to a basic understanding of gene mapping.
Discover the fascinating world of genetic recombination and gene mapping. Learn how the distance between genes on a chromosome influences their likelihood to recombine. Dive into the concept of centimorgans, the unit of measurement for gene distance, and how it relates to the frequency of recombination. Created by Efrat Bruck.
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.
20 cze 2023 · Researchers use linkage to determine the location of genes along chromosomes in a process called genetic mapping. The concept of gene linkage is important to the natural processes of heredity and evolution.
