State
Physical maps are built by cytogenetic mapping of stained chromosomes, radiation hybrid mapping of fragmented DNA, or sequence mapping from DNA sequence data.
Show
Cytogenetic mapping gives a marker's approximate chromosomal position, while sequence mapping gives its exact base-pair position.
Watch for
The three methods trade precision for different data sources — cytogenetic mapping gives approximate position only, sequence mapping exact position.
