In genetics, a
centimorgan or
map unit (m.u.) is a unit of
recombinant frequency for measuring genetic linkage. It is often used to imply distance along a chromosome. The number of base-pairs it corresponds to varies widely across the
genome . One
centimorgan corresponds to about 1 million
base pairs in humans on average . The
centimorgan is equal to a 1%...
