Hi,

Molecular mapping aids in identifying the location of particular markers within the genome . There are two types of maps that may be created for analysis of genetic material. First, is a physical map, that helps identify the location of where you are on a chromosome as well as which chromosome you are on.

The creation of an outline of locations of genetic markers (genes or other polynucleotide sequences) within the structures of the chromosomes . The methodology determines the resolution of the MAP.

Mapping is a way to identify exactly which chromosome has which gene and exactly pinpointing where that gene lies on that particular chromosome . Mapping also acts as a method in determining which gene is most likely to recombine based on the distance between two genes.

Hope this helps.
