Centimorgan

Unit for measuring genetic linkage

In genetics, a centimorgan or map unit (m.u.) is a unit for measuring genetic linkage. It is defined as the distance between chromosome positions for which the expected average number of intervening chromosomal crossovers in a single generation is 0.01. It is often used to infer distance along a chromosome. However, it is not a true physical distance.
