	Centimorgan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In genetics, a centimorgan (abbreviated cM) is a unit of recombinant frequency.
		The centimorgan is equal to a 1% chance that a marker at one genetic locus on a chromosome will be separated from a marker at a second locus due to crossing over in a single generation.
		In human beings, one centimorgan is equivalent, on average, to one million base pairs.

	MOUSE CHROMOSOME ATLAS
		This genetic map of the mouse shows the location of loci in terms of recombinational distance from the centromere, the correlation between the genetic and cytogenetic maps, and the known homologies to human chromosomes.
		Between centimorgan distances the order of loci is the best estimate derived from consideration of the literature, particularly Copeland et al ( 1993), and again should be considered approximate.
		Within a centimorgan position no attempt has been made to show the order of the loci, and loci are listed alphabetically.

	Centimorgan (cm) - Talk Medical
		Centimorgan (cM): A unit of measure of genetic recombination frequency.
		One cM is equal to a 1% chance that a marker at one genetic locus will be separated from a marker at another locus due to crossing over in a single generation.
		The centimorgan is named after the pioneering (and Nobel Prize winning) geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan.

	centimorgan
		The morgan is not used, only the centimorgan.
		The genetic distance between two loci is 1 cM if their statistically corrected recombination frequency is 1%; the genetic distance in centimorgans is numerically equal to the recombination frequency expressed as a percentage.
		The centimorgan is named for Thomas Hunt Morgan ( 1866–1945), who won a Nobel Prize for his work on the genetics of fruit flies.

		This is readily apparent in organisms with large genomes, where the ratio of cM to base pairs can vary enormously across the genome.

		A CentiMorgan (cM) is a unit used to express distances on a genetic map.
		In genetic mapping, distances between markers are determined by measuring the rate of meoitic recombination between them, which increases proportionately with the distance separating them.

		The physical or molecular distance to which a centimorgan corresponds varies a great deal, but the genome-wide average distance for a centimorgan is believed to be roughly 1 million base pairs.
		It is estimated that 3000 well-spaced and informative markers will be needed to achieve a completely linked map, with markers an average of one centimorgan apart as recommended by the NRC.
		For the first five years, the genome program has set as its goal the creation of a 2 to 5 centimorgan map, which would require 600 to 1500 such markers.
