genetic maps (also known as linkage maps) and physical maps. While both maps are a collection of genetic markers and gene loci, genetic maps' distances

types of regulatory RNAs. It also includes promoters and their associated gene-regulatory elements, DNA playing structural and replicatory roles, such as

distance between the two genes. Thus, the use of recombination frequencies has been used to develop linkage maps or genetic maps.[citation needed] However

types of molecular genes: protein-coding genes and non-coding genes. During gene expression (the synthesis of RNA or protein from a gene), DNA is first copied
