WHAT DOES INTERFERENCE MEAN??
• Interference in genetics linkage means “inhibition of
further cross over events by a crossover event in a
nearby region of the chromosome”
Or
• “occurrence of an event in a given interval may reduce
or enhance the occurrence of an event in its vicinity.
in simple terms..
• One crossover which occurs at a spot on
chromosome will affect the second
crossover occurring in the nearby spot,
that is will reduce its chances of
crossing over.
• The diagram shows double
strand break of the
chromosome followed by
pairing of homologous
chromosomes and repair.
• Chromosomal repair leads to
cross over and non cross over
pairs of the chromosome.
• Cross over recombination is
shown by DHJ model
(branched nucleic acid
structure that contains 4
double stranded arms joined)
and
• non cross over is shown by
SDSA model (repair of double
strand break without
formation of DHJ thus
forming homologous pairs).
Interference shown in this diagram using
the model of meiotic recombination.
Coefficient of Coincidence express the extent of
interference
• Interference = 1- coefficient of coincidence (C)
Observed DCO
C = -----------------
Expected DCO
• The values are inversely related.
• A value of 1 means the number of the double
crossovers that occurs is what would be predicted on
the basis of 2 independent events, and there is no
interference.
• A value of 0 means that none of the expected
crossovers occurred, and interference is total.
Positive interference
• “suppression” of recombination events in the
vicinity of the cross over segment.
• If fewer DCOs than expected occur, I is a
positive number and positive interference
has occurred.
• In C. elegans, for example, only one crossover
event per chromosome is observed, and
interference along each chromosome is
complete (C = 1.0).
Negative interference
• “enhancement” of recombination events.
• If more DCOs than expected occur, I is a
negative number and negative interference
has occurred.
• In this case, occurrence of one cross over
event increases the likelihood of a second
cross over event occurring in the same
vicinity.

1. One crossover reduces the chance of
another crossover in the adjacent
region.
1. One crossover enhances the chance of
another crossover in the adjacent region.
2. Mostly in eukaryotes 2. Found in some lower organisms
3. In this case coefficient of coincidence
is less than one.
3. In this case coefficient of coincidence is
always more than one.
EXAMPLE :
GENOTYPE NO. OF OFFSPRING

ch+ b cn 40
ch+ b + cn 4
ch b cn 753
ch b+ cn+ 41
ch+ b cn+ 102
ch b cn+ 5
Ques: Determine :
1) gene order
2) gene distance
3) COC
4) interference
Genotype No. of offspring

ch+ b+ cn+ 750 PARENT TYPE
ch+ b cn 40 SCO
ch+ b + cn 4 DCO
ch b cn 753 PARENT TYPE
ch b+ cn+ 41 SCO
ch+ b cn+ 102 SCO
ch b cn+ 5 DCO
1)Gene order
By comparing parent type and DCO
ch+ b+ ch b
ch+ b+ ch b

cn+
cn and cn+ being uncommon should be in centre in order to
get a correct gene order.
We get,
ch+ cn+ b+ or b+ cn+ ch+
2)Gene distance
Distance between ch and cn

3) COC = no. of observed DCO
no. of expected DCO
Observed DCO = 5+4=9
Expected DCO = SCO= 0.05
SCO’= 0.12
