Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Genetic linkage maps and radiation hybrid (RH) maps measure marker uncoupling in centiMorgan (cM) or centiRay (cR).
  • Physical maps are derived from genome sequencing and measured in base pairs (bp).
  • The relationship between genetic and physical maps is non-linear, influenced by chromosomal characteristics and map type.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more reliable method for converting genetic distances to physical distances.
  • To address the limitations of linear interpolation in genetic mapping.
  • To create a user-friendly, web-accessible application for genetic mapping analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented supervised nonlinear interpolation for genetic-to-physical distance conversion.
