This document discusses genetic linkage and mapping techniques. It defines linkage as genes failing to assort independently if they are located near each other on the same chromosome. Crossing over during meiosis allows for genetic recombination and independent assortment of genes. Linkage analysis techniques are used to construct genetic maps showing gene positions. The recombination frequency between two genes indicates their genetic distance, while LOD scores and Haldane's mapping function translate recombination fractions into distances in centimorgans. Genetic maps have limited resolution and accuracy compared to physical mapping techniques.
A physical map of a chromosome or a genome that shows the physical locations of genes and other DNA sequences of interest. Physical maps are used to help scientists identify and isolate genes by positional cloning.
According to the ICSM (Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping), there are five different types of maps: General Reference, Topographical, Thematic, Navigation Charts and Cadastral Maps and Plans.

A complementation test (sometimes called a "cis-trans" test) can be used to test whether the mutations in two strains are in different genes. By taking an example of Benzer's work, complementation has been explained.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
2. Linkage
• Linkage is defined genetically as the failure of two genes to assort
independently.
• Linkage is the association of genes on the same chromosome.
• Linkage occurs when two genes are close to each other on the same
chromosome.
• However, two genes on the same chromosome are called syntenic.
3. • Linked genes are syntenic, but syntenic genes are not always linked.
Genes far apart on the same chromosome assort independently: they
are not linked.
• Linkage is based on the frequency of crossing over between the two
genes. Crossing over occurs in prophase of meiosis I, where
homologous chromosomes break at identical locations and re-join
with each other.
• A linkage group is a group of genes which is known to be linked. A
chromosome can be called as linkage group.
4. Process of Recombination
• From an evolutionary point of view, the purpose of sex is to re-shuffle the
combinations of alleles so the offspring receive a different set of alleles
than their parents had.
• Natural selection then causes offspring with good combinations to survive
and reproduce, while offspring with bad combinations don’t pass them on.
• Genes are on chromosomes. Meiosis is a mechanism for re-shuffling the
chromosomes: each gamete gets a mixture of paternal and maternal
chromosomes.
• However, chromosomes are long and contain many genes. To get individual
genes re-shuffled, there needs to be a mechanism of recombining genes
that are on the same chromosome. This mechanism is called “crossing over.
5. • Crossing over occurs in prophase of meiosis 1, when the homologous
chromosomes synapse, which means to pair closely with each other. DNA
strands from the two chromosomes are matched with each other.
• During synapsis, an enzyme, recombinase, attaches to each chromosome
at several randomly chosen points. The recombinase breaks both DNA
molecules at the same point, and re-attaches them to opposite partners.
• The result of crossing over can be seen in the microscope as prophase
continues, as X shaped structures linking the homologues.
• The genetic consequence of crossing over is that each chromosome that
goes into a gamete is a combination of maternal and paternal
chromosomes.
11. MAPPING TECHNIQUES
• Linkage analysis is the basis of genetic mapping.
• The offspring usually co-inherit either A with B or a with b, and, in this
case, the law of independent assortment is not valid.
• Thus to test for linkage between the genes for two traits, certain
types of mattings are examined and observe whether or not the
pattern of the combinations of traits exhibited by the offspring
follows the law of independent assortment.
• If not, the gene pairs for those traits must be linked, that is they must
be on the same chromosome pair.
12. • Only mattings involving an individual who is heterozygous for both
traits (genotype AaBb) reveal deviations from independent
assortment and thus reveal linkage.
• Moreover, the most obvious deviations occur in the test cross, a
mating between a double heterozygote and a doubly recessive
homozygote (genotype aabb).
13.
14.
15. • Genetic mapping is based on the use of genetic techniques to
construct maps showing the positions of genes and other sequence
features on a genome.
• Genetic techniques include cross-breeding experiments or, Case of
humans, the examination of family histories (pedigrees).
17. Recombination Frequency
• Recombination fraction is a measure of the distance between two
loci.
• Two loci that show 1% recombination are defined as being 1
centimorgan (cM) apart on a genetic map.
• 1 map unit = 1 cM (centimorgan)
• Two genes that undergo independent assortment have recombination
frequency of 50 percent and are located on nonhomologous
chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome = unlinked
• Genes with recombination frequencies less than 50 are on the same
chromosome = linked
18. Calculation of Recombination Frequency
The percentage of recombinant progeny produced in a cross is called the
recombination frequency, which is calculated as follows:
20. LOD SCORE
• The LOD score is calculated as follows:
• LOD = Z = Log10 probability of birth sequence with a given linkage/
probability of birth sequence with no linkage
• By convention, a LOD score greater than 3.0 is considered evidence
for linkage.
• On the other hand, a LOD score less than -2.0 is considered evidence
to exclude linkage.
21. Mapping function
• The genetic distance between locus A and locus B is defined as the
average number of crossovers occurring in the interval AB.
• Mapping function is use to translate recombination fractions into
genetic distances.
• In 1919 the British geneticist J, B. S. Haldane proposed such Mapping
function Haldane defined the genetic distance, x, between two loci as
the average number of crossovers per meiosis in the interval between
the two loci.
22. Haldane’s mapping function
• Assumptions: crossovers occurred at random along the chromosome
and that the probability of a crossover at one position along the
chromosome was independent of the probability of a crossover at
another position.
• Using these assumptions, he derived the following relationship
between
• Ø, the recombination fraction and
• x ,the genetic distance (in morgans):
• Ø=1/2(1-e-2x) or equivalently,
• X=-1/2ln(1-2Ø)
23. • Genetic distance between two loci increases, the recombination
fraction approaches a limiting value of 0.5.
• Cytological observations of meiosis indicate that the average number
of crossovers undergone by the chromosome pairs of a germ-line cell
during meiosis is 33.
• Therefore, the average genetic length of a human chromosome is
about 1.4 morgans, or about 140 centimorgans.
24.
25. LIMITATIONS
• A map generated by genetic techniques is rarely sufficient for directing the
sequencing phase of a genome project. This is for two reasons:
• The resolution of a genetic map depends on the number of crossovers that
have been scored.
• Genes that are several tens of kb apart may appear at the same position on
the genetic map.
• Genetic maps have limited accuracy .
• Presence of recombination hotspots means that crossovers are more likely
to occur at some points rather than at others.
• physical mapping techniques has been developed to address this problem.
