Sturtevant Uses Crossing-Over Data to Construct the First Genetic Map Soon after ... realized that if the frequency of crossing over was related to distance, one could use this information to ...

Recombination events in many organisms are concentrated in highly localized areas termed 'hot spots'. Hot spots can be detected by statistical analysis of genetic variation, analysis of pedigrees ...

The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic diversity ... the genome recombination occurs. Women have fewer non-crossover recombinatios, but their frequency increases with age ...
