Mapping of genes on chromosomes is based on the assumption that genes are arranged on the chromosome and that the percentage of crossing over (recombination frequency) between two genes is an index of their distance apart. Distances between genes is expressed as map units, where one map unit is defined as 1 per cent recombination.
