Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Context:

  • MAPMAKER 3.0 for Macintosh is widely used for genetic linkage map construction.
  • The PC version of MAPMAKER lacks advanced graphical capabilities.
  • Macintosh computers are declining in popularity, with most geneticists using PCs.

Purpose:

  • To develop a PC-based software solution for creating genetic linkage maps comparable to the Macintosh version of MAPMAKER.
  • To leverage Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for genetic map visualization.
  • To provide geneticists with a tool for easy and flexible genetic linkage map construction on PCs.

Summary:

  • A Microsoft Excel macro named MapDraw has been developed to construct genetic linkage maps on PC computers.
