Title: How can recombination frequencies be used to map genetic loci?
Post by: rlin26 on Oct 2, 2012
Because the greater the frequency of crossing-over, the greater the distance between the genes.  Therefore, if crossing-over (recombination) occurs in, say, 23% of the offspring, we assume the genes are 23 map units apart...
