Mapping

^ http://edamontology.org/topic_0102


The mapping of complete (typically nucleotide) sequences. Mapping (in the sense of short read alignment, or more generally, just alignment) has application in RNA-Seq analysis (mapping of transcriptomics reads), variant discovery (e.g. mapping of exome capture), and re-sequencing (mapping of WGS reads).

Synonyms: Linkage, Synteny, Genetic linkage, Linkage mapping

This includes resources that aim to identify, map or analyse genetic markers in DNA sequences, for example to produce a genetic (linkage) map of a chromosome or genome or to analyse genetic linkage and synteny. It also includes resources for physical (sequence) maps of a DNA sequence showing the physical distance (base pairs) between features or landmarks such as restriction sites, cloned DNA fragments, genes and other genetic markers. It also covers for example the alignment of sequences of (typically millions) of short reads to a reference genome.
