A genetic map, also known as a linkage map, is a diagram that displays the arrangement of genes on a chromosome. It shows the relative locations of different genes and their distance from one another. However, there are some alternative synonyms for this term. The term "chromosome map" is often used to describe the same concept. Additionally, "DNA map" and "genome map" are also used to refer to the arrangement of genes, markers, and other genetic information on the genome. These synonyms are often used interchangeably, but they all point towards the same idea of displaying the genetic information in a clear and concise manner.
