Gene Mapping Methods. The essence of all genome mapping is to place a collection of molecular markers onto their respective positions on the genome. During meiosis the non-sister chromatids come together and make chiasmata and undergo crossing-over.
Genes located on the same chromosome are called linked genes or linkage groups. The essence of all genome mapping is to place a collection of molecular markers onto their respective positions on the genome. Gene mapping is the technique of generating a complete map of the locations of genes in a chromosome.
A genetic map is an indirect method of locating the positions of genes or DNA markers whereas physical mapping is a direct method.
