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.
