gene mapping

GBK English to Portuguese Science Genetics
About "KOG team questions": http://www.proz.com/topic/112658
Determination of the relative positions of genes on a DNA molecule (chromosome or plasmid) and of the distance, in linkage units or physical units, between them.
Example sentences:
Over the last decade, there has been marked progress in gene mapping in man and some animals. Advances in gene mapping have also touched fur-bearing animals: the genetic map of mink consists of 74 genes marking all chromosomes, except the Y, and the fox map contains 35 genes marking 15 of 16 autosomes and the X chromosome. (AgBiotechNet)
Pioneering gene mapping studies into the genomes of fishes will only serve as the starting point for more detailed studies into the function of these genomes. Future research directed at understanding the mechanisms of gene actions and interactions will benefit all areas of biology, including ecology, ethology, evolution, and physiology. (CAT.INIST)
Somatic cell hybrid (SCH) panels and radiation hybrid (RH) panels are powerful resources for comparative gene mapping because gene assignments are made without the detection of genetic polymorphism as needed for linkage mapping. (Genome Research)

mapeamento genético

Também será possível e correcto dizer "Cartografia genética", visto que mapear e cartografar são sinónimos. Prova disso são algumas referências que usam "Cartografia":

Definition from Universidade de Évora:
Mapear os genes é referenciá-los posicionalmente dentro do cromossoma a que pertencem.
Example sentences:
O recente desenvolvimento da transformação de plantas (inserção de um novo locus ou a substituição de um alelo, sempre a partir de DNA isolado in vitro) abre uma alternativa (plantas transgénicas) às linhas congénicas, e neste processo as técnicas de mapeamento são também essenciais. (Universidade de Évora)
