Genome Mapping

Genome mapping is the process of identifying and recording the locations of genes and other important markers in the DNA of an organism. Imagine a map that shows where each city is located; similarly, a genome map provides a detailed layout of the genetic material within a chromosome. This information helps scientists understand genetic structures, functions, and relationships, and can support research in areas like genetics, medicine, and evolutionary biology. By knowing where genes are located, researchers can study their roles in health, diseases, and development more effectively.
