Genetic mapping
Generate a genetic (linkage) map of a DNA sequence (typically a chromosome) showing the relative positions of genetic markers based on estimation of non-physical distances.
Synonyms: Genetic map construction, Genetic map generation, Functional mapping, Genetic cartography, Linkage mapping, QTL mapping

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).
