The tendency of 'genes' on the same chromosome to segregate together. This means that linked genes are transmitted to the same gamete more than 50% of the time. Genetic linkage reflects a lack of meiotic crossovers between two genes.
identification of genes that may be linked because they reside on the same chromosome
Physical relationship between markers on a chromosome; the linkage number gives an estimate of the probability that two markers will be inherited together. The closer together the markers, the lower the probability that they will be separated during chromosome pairing after fertilization.
in the study of genetics, the link between the genetic basis of characters which results from both genes lying on the same chromosome.
The tendency of genes located close together on the same DNA molecule to be coinherited. Typically expressed as percent coinheritance of two genetic markers.
Tendency for some parental alleles to be inherited together (opp. Mendel's law).
The tendency for two genes, close to each other on a chromosome, to remain together during reproduction. Linked genes are therefore an exception to Mendel's Laws of Inheritance.
The tendency of markers to be inherited together. Linkage of two markers is an indication that they are close to one another in the genome.
the tendency of certain genes to be inherited together. Two genes are said to be "linked" if they are often inherited together, due to their close proximity on a chromosome.
A condition in which two or more nonallelic genes reside in close proximity to each other and tend to be inherited together.
The tendency of non-allelic genes to be inherited together more than would be expected if they were assorting independently. Linkage exists between two loci when they are located sufficiently close on the same chromosome that some gametes are produced without crossing-over occurring between the two loci.
The association of genes and/or markers that lie near each other on a chromosome. Linked genes and markers tend to be inherited together.
The association between two or more genes located on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together.
The phenomenon whereby phenotypes and alleles at one or more marker alleles tend to be inherited together more often than expected. Linkage usually means that a gene contributing partially or completely to the phenotype (a genetic disease, for instance) maps in the vicinity of the markers.
Analysis of pedigree and the tracking of alleles of a specific gene by following the inheritance of closely associated genes and DNA markers.
The co-inheritance of two DNA loci that are near each other on the same chromosome.
Two genes that are near each other on the same chromosome are said to be “linked”. If one gene is inherited, the probability is high that the other one will also be inherited.
(1) Mutual effect of the binding of one ligand on the binding of another that is a central feature of the behavior of all allosteric proteins. (2) Co-inheritance of two genetic loci that lie near each other on the same chromosome; the greater the linkage, the lower the frequency of recombination between the two loci.
Genes and/or microsatellites that are on the same chromosome, esp. when positioned close together. Linked genes and microsatellites are usually inherited together; the closer the positioning the less likely they will be separated by recombination..
The likelihood that two gene loci are co-inherited. Based on linkage, cloning can be used to find disease genes that lie close on the chromosome to markers.
The proximity of two or more markers (genes or polymorphisms) on a chromosome; the closer together the markers are, the lower the probability that they will be separated by genetic recombination during meiosis and, therefore, the greater probability that they will be inherited together.
(genetics) traits that tend to be inherited together as a consequence of an association between their genes; all of the genes of a given chromosome are linked (where one goes they all go)
the act of linking things together
a collection of rigid rods that are fastened together at their endpoints, about which they may rotate freely
a set of line segments hinged together like a carpenter's rule
The tendency for genes, or pieces of DNA, located close together on a chromosome to be inherited together.
Measures the physical distance between two genes. Genes that are close together are unlikely to segregate in a sexual cross. Distant genes segregate independently are are then said to be unlinked.
The tendency for genes lying close together on the same chromosome to be inherited together: used to infer inheritance of linked genes. See also LOD score.
The co-inheritance of two or more genetic markers or physical traits. The closer together the genetic markers or genes are on a chromosome, the greater the probability that they will be inherited together or show linkage.
The tendency for genes situated sufficiently close to each other on a chromosome to be inherited together, i.e. not to be separated by crossing over at meiosis.
the close physical association of two different genes, such that they tend to be inherited together
Certain genes are known to be inherited together because they are so close to one another on the same chromosome.
The close proximity of two genetic sites (loci) within a chromosome.
Describes the co-inheritance of alleles of different genes. Genes that are linked are physically close to each other on the DNA molecule that makes up a chromosome.
A measure of proximity between two alleles determined by recombination events. If they are not linked, they are separate chromosomes; if loosely linked, they are distant to each other on the same chromosomes. The closer they are to one another, the more tightly they are linked.
Two genes or markers that are so close together on a chromosome that they are rarely separated by recombination are said to be linked. Linkage analysis is a statistical method for detecting linkage between a disease and markers of known location by following their inheritance in families.
a measure of how frequently two genes found on the same chromosome remain together during gamete (egg or sperm) formation.
last stage of the compile process, consisting of linking together all object files in order to produce an executable file, and matching unresolved symbols with dynamic libraries (unless a static linkage has been requested, in which case the code of these symbols will be included in the executable).
Genes are said to be linked when they reside close together on the same chromosome.
The condition in which the inheritance of a specific chromosome is coupled with that of a given gene. The genes stay together during meiosis and end up in the same gamete.
The tendency for genes and other genetic markers to be inherited together because of their location near one another on the same chromosome . See the entire definition of Linkage
The association of genes (or genetic loci) on the same chromosome. Genes that are linked together tend to be transmitted together.
The tendency for certain genes to be inherited together due to their physical proximity on the chromosome.
the tendency of genes on the same chromosome to be associated in inheritance.
A measure of the degree to which alleles at two loci fail to assort independently during meiosis and are inherited together some fraction of the time
The occurrence of two or more loci of interest on the same chromosome.
The tendency for genes or segments of DNA closely positioned along a chromosome to segregate together at meiosis and therefore be inherited together
the greater association in inheritance of two or more nonallelic genes than is to be expected from independent assortment; genes are linked because they reside on the same chromosome
The proximity of two or more markers (e.g., genes, RFLP markers) on a chromosome; the closer together the markers are, the lower the probability that they will be separated during DNA repair or replication processes (binary fission in prokaryotes, mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotes), and hence the greater the probability that they will be inherited together.
Frequency of coinheritance of a pair of genes and/or genetic markers. Provides a measure of their physical proximity to one another on a chromosome. The greater association in inheritance of 2 or more non-allelic genes than is to be expected from independent assortment. Genes linked because they reside on the same chromosome. Condition in which tow or more nonallelic genes tend to be inherited together. Linked genes have their loci along the same chromosome, do not assort independently, but can be separated by crossing over.
the relationship between 2 or more non- allelic genes on the same chromosome that causes them to be inherited together.
Association of genes located on the same chromosome.
Pertaining to the situation where two loci are close enough to each on the same chromosome such that recombination between them is reduced to a level significantly less than 50%.
The proximity of two or more loci (especially genes) on a chromosome.
The proximity of two or more genes on a chromosome; the closer together the genes are, the less likely it becomes that they will be separated during DNA repair or replication processes, and the more likely it becomes that they will be inherited together.
An association of gene loci on the same chromosome.
Occurrence of two or more genes on the same chromosome. Linked genes are transmitted as a group of gametes.
The tendency for certain genetic markers (e.g., genes, RFLP markers) to be inherited together because of their location on the same chromosome.
a statistical clue that a gene is at least partially responsible for a disease
The condition where two genes are both present in close proximity on a single chromosome and are usually inherited together.
Association between genetic markers on the same chromosome such that they do not show random assortment and seldom recombine; the closer the markers, the lower the frequency of recombination.
In genetics, the tendency of two different loci on the same chromosome to be inherited together. The closer two loci are, the greater their linkage and the lower the frequency of recombination between them.
