Draft:Chromosome mapping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chromosome mapping is a method determining the relative position of genes within a chromosome. [1] This process creates a map that shows genetic information on chromosomes by showing the gene positions and distances between them, represented on a standardised scale. It is discovered by Thomas Hunt Morgan when investigating the Drosophila gene. The advancement of sequencing technology and statistics make chromosome mapping more commonplace. The development of chromosome mapping also pushed forward the onset of Human Genome Project. By mapping all the chromosomes, a comprehensive map of human genome is created. The outcome serves as a reference of human genome which greatly benefits the future research on genetics.

There are two methods in creating a chromosome map: genetic mapping and physical mapping. For genetic mapping, recombinations of DNA markers and genes in chromosomes are analysed and a probabilistic model helps predict the linear arrangement of genes. In physical mapping, the gene is cleaved by restriction enzymes. The distance between cleavage sites and size of gene fragments are measured in order to generate the genetic map.
