Mapping involves ordering genetic loci along a chromosome and estimating the physical distance between loci. A genetic map shows the relative (not physical) position of known genes and genetic markers., This includes mapping of the genetic architecture of dynamic complex traits (functional mapping), e.g. by characterisation of the underlying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) or nucleotides (QTNs).
