For Linkage we have terms and definitions in 8 topics. The topics are Anthromorphemics, Anthropology, Bioinformatics, Cold War, Genetics, Genetics and Genealogy, Genome and Microbiology.

Linkage (Anthromorphemics)

The association of genes on the same chromosome.

Linkage (Anthropology)

The association of genes on the same chromosome.

Linkage (Bioinformatics)

The association of genes (or genetic loci) on the same chromosome. Genes that are linked together tend to be transmitted together.

Linkage (Cold War)

U.S. negotiating policy developed by Kissinger to offer concessions on technology and trade in exchange for a more responsible Soviet foreign policy.

Linkage (Genetics)

1. 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.
2. Analysis of pedigree the tracking of a gene through a family by following the inheritance of a (closely associated) gene or trait and a DNA marker.

Linkage (Genetics and Genealogy)

The proximity of two or more markers (e.g. genes or genetic markers) on a chromosome. The closer together the genes or markers are the lower the probability that they will be separated during DNA replication and hence the greater the probability that they will be inherited together.

Linkage (Genome)

The proximity of two or more markers (e.g., genes, RFLP markers) on a chromosome; the closer the markers, 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.

Linkage (Microbiology)

The measure of proximity of two or more markers (e.g., genes, RFLP markers) on a chromosome determined by recombination events. 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.
