  1. Mapping Basics MUPGRET Workshop June 18, 2004

  2. Randomly Intermated P1 x P2  F1  SELF • F2 • 2 3 4 5 6 7 …… • One seed from each used for next generation • Recombination. • After recombination self to create line.

  3. Randomly Intermated. • Very high resolution. • Accumulates recombination events across generations and fixes them. • Excellent for fine mapping • Only homozygous genotypes.

  4. Population Size • Dependent on type of population • Generally 200-300 individuals • If doing trait analysis, the number of individuals determines the maximum number of QTL you can find. • Two samples from the same population will produce different maps because they sample different gametes.

  5. Genetic Mapping Basics • Gene: a particular sequence of nucleotides among a molecule of DNA which represents a functional unit of inheritance. (Johannsen, 1909) • Locus: the position of a gene on a chromosome or a genetic map. (Morgan, Sturtevant, Muller, and Bridges, 1915)

  6. More terminology • Linkage: the association in inheritance of certain genes and their associated phenotypes due to their being localized in the same chromosome. (Morgan, 1910) • Linked: two genes showing less than 50% recombination.

  7. More terms • Recombination: Any process which gives rise to cells or individuals (recombinants) associating the alleles of two or more genes in new ways. (Bridges and Morgan, 1923) • Recombinants are the end products of exchange of alleles from parental types as a result of crossing-over.

  8. Terminology • Phenotype: the observable properties of an organism, produced by the interaction between the organism’s genotype and the environment (Johannsen, 1909). • Genotype: the genetic constitution in respect to the alleles at one or a few genetic loci under observation. (Johannsen, 1909).

  9. Recombination Recombinant Parental

  10. Recombination and Mapping • Assume the frequency of crossing-over is equal along the chromosome. • Two genes that are very close to one another will have a lower likelihood of having a cross-over between them than two genes that are far apart.

  11. Recombination and Mapping • So, we can determine the relative distance between genes by counting the number of recombinant genotypes for each pair of genes. • Lots of recombinants = far apart • Fewer recombinants = close together

  12. Parental Types Tall, Green 42 Short, White 39 =81% Recombinant Types Tall, White 7 Short, Green 12 =19% Two Point Analysis

  13. Map Units • 1 map unit is equal to 1% recombination. • Map units are also called centimorgans after geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan who won the Nobel Prize for discovering how chromosomes govern inheritance.

  14. Challenge • How do we merge the information about each pair of genes together into one common framework? • How do we order the genes relative to one another?

  15. Three-Point Analysis Single cross-over A B C a b c Double cross-over

  16. Double cross-overs and Map Distance If we only look at the outer markers A and C on the previous slide, we will underestimate the true distance between them because we have not accounted for the double cross-overs.

  17. Three-Point Analysis • Distance = # Singles +2 * Doubles Total • If cross-overs are equally likely along the chromosome and closer genes have few cross-overs, then the likelihood of two cross-overs close to one another would be small.

  18. Double cross-overs • So mapping algorithms can order genes by minimizing the number of double cross-overs.

  19. Maximum Likelihood Method • Gives an estimate of the distances and the relative orders of the loci which would maximize the probability that the observed data would have occurred.

  22. MapMaker • Mapping program that uses maximum likelihood method. • Initially calculates what is linked (< 50% recombination).

  23. MapMaker • Works one linkage group at a time. • Randomly picks two genes with the group and calculates the distance between them. • Adds another gene from the group and determines the correct placement by using maximum likelihood to minimize the double cross-overs.

  24. MapMaker • Does this by calculating a LOD value for the placement of the gene in each of the intervals. • Accepts the placement with the highest LOD value. • Can be used for molecular markers or for trait data.

  25. LOD • Log likelihood. • LOD = log 10 (Probability that the observed data would have occurred /probability that the gene is unlinked).
