Linkage maps and physical maps are NOT the same. A linkage map measures the number of recombination events in a given chromosome fragment.
A linkage map is based on the frequency of recombination events between genes or molecular markers.
This frequency indicates the number of events in which a single chromosomal fragment recombines between two or more genes or molecular markers during meiosis.
Conversely, a physical DNA map indicates the physical locations of genes (molecular markers) and nucleotide (DNA) sequences of interest, which is useful to identify genes by positional cloning.
