Abstract:Physical maps of chromosomes are a way of visualizing the entire chromosome in a single figure. Physical maps can come in a variety of formats, including actual photographs of chromosomes, genetic maps where the relative locations of genes are mapped, restriction maps showing the location of restriction enzyme cutting sites along the
deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA), and finally maps based on the known DNA sequence along the entire chromosome.
