Genetic Mapping

Genetic mapping refers to the process of determining the relative position of genes on a chromosome. This is done by analyzing inheritance patterns of genetic traits and markers in families or populations. The resulting map, also known as a linkage map, can be used to study genetic diseases, to identify genes responsible for specific traits, and to develop new crop varieties and animal breeds. Genetic mapping can also be used in combination with other techniques such as genome sequencing to create a comprehensive map of the genome.
