Genetic linkage map
The SNP data in the segregating populations (also called mapping populations) can be used to make a genetic linkage map. A linkage map shows the position of known genes and/or genetic markers relative to each other on the different chromosomes. The distance between the genes/markers is given in terms of recombination frequencies, also denoted as centimorgans. These recombination frequencies are a result from crossovers between genetically linked genes/markers on homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
