Technical Approach of Genetic Mapping

Peristeera Paschou*

Genetic Mapping is a process of finding gene sites on chromosomes. The relative sites of genes can be determined by observing genetic factors. The DNA approaches have been lately used by researchers to identify the physical sites of genes on chromosomes. Genetic mapping is also known as linkage mapping. Genome mapping is a technique for identifying and recording the locations of genes on a chromosome and distances between them. The Human Genome Project got off to a great start due to genome mapping. This approaches and methods defines a gene's locus and the distances between genes. It can provide hard proof that a disease, that passes from parents to children which is related to one or more genes. Mapping is a technique used in autosomal DNA testing to identify which sections of DNA came from which parent. It is important to test a number of close relatives in order to map DNA fragments on such chromosomes.
