centimorgan
centimorgan (ˈsɛntɪˌmɔːɡən) n (Genetics) genetics a unit of chromosome length, used in genetic mapping, equal to the length of chromosome over which crossing over occurs with 1 per cent frequency[C20: named after Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866–1945), US biologist]Translationscentimorgan
centimorgan[′sent·ə‚mȯrg·ən] (genetics) A unit of genetic map distance, equal to the distance along a chromosome that gives a recombination frequency of 1%. centimorgan
Mor·gan (mōr'găn), Harry de R., British physician, 1863-1931. See: Morgan bacillus. mor·gan (M), (mōr'găn), The standard unit of genetic distance on the genetic map: the distance between two loci such that on average one crossing over will occur per meiosis; for working purposes, the centimorgan (0.01 M) is used. [T.H. Morgan, U.S. geneticist, 1866-1945] map unit An arbitrary unit for the distance between genes, usually derived from the percentage of recombination, but also defined by the time at which the gene is transferred during conjugation. One map unit corresponds to a recombination frequency of 1%.mor·gan (mōr'găn) The standard unit of genetic distance on the genetic map: the distance between two loci such that on average one crossing over will occur per meiosis; for working purposes, the centimorgan (0.01 M) is used. [T.H. Morgan, U.S. geneticist, 1866-1945]centimorgan A unit of distance between two genes on a chromosome, representing a 1 per cent probability of recombination in a single meiotic event. Named after Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866–1945) the American Nobel-prizewinning geneticist often described as the father of modern genetics.FinancialSeeCMThesaurusSeeMorgan |
