Contents:
Machine generated contents note: Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Meiosis and genetic recombination; 3. Estimation of recombination frequencies; 4. Determination of linkage groups; 5. Estimation of a genetic map; 6. Criteria for the evaluation of maps; 7. How to find the best map order; 8. Outbreeding species; 9. Mapping in practice; References; Answers to exercises; Index.
Summary: "Genetic linkage maps are an increasingly important tool in both fundamental and applied research, enabling the study and deployment of genes that determine important biological traits. This concise introduction to genetic mapping in species with disomic inheritance enables life science graduate students and researchers to use mapping software to produce more reliable results. After a brief refresher on meiosis and genetic recombination, the steps in the map construction procedure are described, with explanations of the computations involved. The emphasis throughout is on the practical application of the methods described; detailed mathematical formulae are avoided and exercises are included to help readers consolidate their understanding. A chapter on recognising and solving problems provides valuable guidance for dealing with real-life situations. An extensive chapter dedicated to the more complex situation of outbreeding species offers a unique insight into the approach required for many economically important and model species, both plants and animals"--Provided by publisher.
