Gene Mapping
Gene mapping is the process of establishing the locations of genes on the chromosomes. Early gene maps used linkage analysis.

An emerging gene map. More than 250 genes have already been mapped to chromosome 19.

Gene Mapping with a Three-Point Cross
The page Genetic Linkage and Linkage Maps shows how carrying out three different dihybrid test crosses in the corn plant reveals: ...

Gene mapping
Determination of the relative positions of different genes on a DNA molecule.
Gene transfer agent
A phage-like agent from Rhodobacter capsulates species which can transfer DNA from the donor host to recipient cells.

Gene mapping: Determining the relative positions of genes on a DNA molecule.
Gene product: The biochemical material, either RNA or protein, resulting from expression of a gene.

Gene map A diagram of the relative positions of genes within the genome
Gene pool All the alleles at a particular locus present in a population.

Gene map
A linear designation of mutant sites within a gene, based upon the various frequencies of interallelic (intragenic) recombination.
The DNA sequence of a gene annotated with sites of regulatory elements, introns, exons and mutations.
