    Gene mapping involves assigning DNA fragments to chromosomes to determine the location of genes. It is a critical step in understanding genetic diseases. The frequency of recombination between two genes can be used to measure the actual distance between them on a chromosome. The ultimate goal of gene mapping is to clone genes, especially disease genes, to determine their DNA sequence and protein products. Once genes are located, it leads to discovering the molecules that cause genetic diseases. Gene mapping is necessary for human well-being. Genome maps help scientists locate genes involved in human disease by providing landmarks like DNA sequences and regulatory sites to navigate the genome.

    GENE MAPPING

    Gene Mapping also called genome mapping, it is the creation of gene map assigning DNA fragments to chromosomes. It refers to the mapping of genes to specific locations on chromosomes. It is a critical step in the understanding of genetic diseases. The central idea of gene mapping, as first developed by Sturtevant, is that the frequency of recombination between two genes can be used as a measure of the actual distance between them on a chromosome. The ultimate goal of gene mapping is to clone genes, especially disease genes. Once a gene is cloned, we can determine its DNA sequence and study its protein product. Gene mapping would identify the location of all genes on each chromosome, or on the DNA molecules. The genetic map would not cure genetic diseases by itself; but it would be an important tool to help researchers locate specific genes and analyse the diseases. Locating desired genes is essential because it leads directly to the discovery of the molecules that cause genetic diseases. Gene mapping therefore became a necessity for the well-being of humanity. Genome maps help scientists find genes, particularly those involved in human disease.

    Genome Map A genome map helps scientists navigate around the genome. Like road maps and other familiar maps, a genome map is a set of landmarks that tells people where they are, and helps them get where they want to go. The landmarks on a genome map might include short DNA sequences, regulatory sites that turn genes on and off, and genes themselves. Often, genome maps are used to help scientists find new genes. Finally, genome maps enable scientists to compare the genomes of different species, yielding insights into the process of evolution.
