Terminology commonly used in population genetics
1.Gene and chromosome: Gene is the physical entity transmitted from parent to
offspring during the reproductive process that influences hereditary traits.
While, Chromosome is the entity in which genes are arranged in within a cell.
2. Molecular markers: Comprised of alleles that are used to keep track of a
chromosome or a gene. For ex: in Past: Blood group, milk protein, enzymes, At present:
RFLP, VNTR, STR, EST, and more recently SNP.
3. Quantitative (Polygenic) traits: Phenotypic characters which are control by
many genes (Polygenes).
3. Quantitative traits loci: Polygenes that are organised on a fixed locus in the
specific chromosmes. OR A gene affecting a quantitative traits.
4. Alleles: Alternative form of a gene. For ex: k Casein A & B allele.
5. Segregation: The separation of two alleles during meiosis.
6. Linked marker allele: Polymorphic allele which segregated according to
observed phenotypic traits.
7. H.W. Law: In a random mating population with no selection, mutation, migration,
the gene and genotypic frequencies are constant from generation to generation. This
properties of a population are derived from a principle, Known as HW law, after Hardy
and Wienberg (1908).
8. Gene and genotypic frequency: (AA,AB,BB
& A,B respectively).

2. Heterozygosity of marker
3. Primer sequence
4. PCR product size
5. No. of polymarphic alleles
6. Distances with adjacent markers
Use of molecular genetic markers in quantitative Genetics:
Microsatellite or short tandem repeat (STR) markers
Genetic Markers: In past years, the most commonly used markers were:
blood groups, milk protein and biochemical enzymes
Now these above mentioned markers have been replaced by highly
polymorphic molecular markers like: RFLP (Botstein, 1980), VNTR
(Jaffery et al. 1985), STR (Litt and Luty, 1989), ETS, SNP markers.
Microsatellite markers: Are short tandem repeat of base pairs found through
out the mammalian genome. They are classified as:

Dinucleotide type, Trinucleotide type, Tetranucleotide type of STR.

Properties of STR markers: Highly polymorphic in nature. Found
abundant through out the mammalian genome. Inherited in a Mendelian
fashion. Segregated in a co-dominance fashion.
GENETIC
LINKAGE :
Identification of markers linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL).
In Genetic Linkage study:
For example: At Two loci, A and B, for which the proportion of parental
gametes
(1-q ) produced exceeds the proportion of recombinant gametes (q)
(violation of Mendel's second law) are said to be genetically linked
(1 ).
Counting parental versus recombinant gametes requires knowledge of the
linkage phase, i.e. grouping the alleles of the individual producing
the
gametes by parental origin.
Linkage and Linkage dis-equilibrium (HardyWeinberg equilibrium)
HW law is the beck bone of population genetic study. As it
is defined as „In a large random mating population with
no selection, mutation and migration, the gene and
genotypic frequencies are constant from generation to
generation”.
Thus, A population with constant gene and genotypic
frequencies is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Forces creating linkage disequilibrium:
•Random drift
•Mutation
•Migration
•Selection (LD involving the loci underlying the genetic
variance for the selected trait = "Bulmer effect")
Linkage and linkage dis-equilibrium
Genes are linked if they are located on the same chromosome.
Linked genes do not show independent assortment.

q = Linkage disequilibrium in generation t

At q =0.5, linkage equilibrium

Recombination: The process that generates, new chromosomal
Combinations hat differ from the parental chromosomes,
during meiosis.
For example:
In a genotype A1A2B1B2; we assume that A & B alleles are linked.
1) A1B1/A2B2
2) A1B2/A2B1
: coupling phase (cis)
: repulsion phase (trans)

The location of genes:
d
1cM
= distance between genes in centimorgan (cM).
= the distance between two genes is 1 cM if there is on average
one cross over per 100 meiosis.
Mappng function: Function relating the map distance (d) to
the recombination fraction. (q).

B
qAB = 0.20
d = q, i.e., = qAC = 0.20 + 0.20 = 0.40
II
qBC = 0.20
C
Experimental example: typing is for genes A and C

been for A,B and C
Recombinants
Ac
aC
Abc, Abc, aBC, abC
Non-recombinants
AC
ABC, AbC
ABC, AbC are recognised as non-recombinants!!!
Calculation for Non-recombinants:
Non-recombinants = non-recombinants + double rcombinants
(1-qAC) = (1- qAB)(1- qBC) + qAB qBC
(1-qAC) = 1- qAB - qBC + qAB qBC + qAB qBC
qAC = qAB + qBC + 2 qAB qBC
By putting the values:
qAC = 0.20 + 0.20 – 0.08 = 0.32
when map distance (d) = recombnation rate (q),
means linkage or in other words, it does not take into account,
The occurence of double recombination.
Gene
mapping function and
genetic distance
Genetic distance (d):
•The recombination rate (q ) between two loci is a function of the
genetic distance between the two loci (d) expressed in Morgan (M).
•d corresponds to the average number of crossovers occurring
between loci A and B per gamete and per generation.
•The distinction between q and d result from the fact that gametes
having undergone an even number of crossovers will be mistaken
as non recombinant gametes.
•Several functions relating q and x are being used, including:
Haldane's mapping function:
Haldane’s mapping function assumes that the frequencies of meioses with 0, 1, 2,
…,n crossovers between loci A and B are distributed as a Poisson process with
mean m:
as all but meioses with 0 crossovers produce 50% recombinant and 50% parental
gametes (1 ):
As m = 2x (2d),
(1)
and
(2)
Haldane's mapping function:
Where x(d) = -1/2 In (1- 2q)
-1/2In (1-2*0.20) = 0.255 = dAB = dBC
0.255 + 0.255 = 0.511 = dAC
½ (1- e–(2*0.511)) = 0.32 = qAC
Observed q
At map distance 1.0,
The q value is 0.43
0.5
q = 0.5 (1- e–2d)
0.4
0.3
0.2
0.1
0.50
1.00
1.50
2.00
Map distance (d)
The relation between the observed q and map distance (d in Morgan)
Haldane mapping function takes into account the occurence of
multiple Recombinants based on the passion distribution
f(i) = e-µ . µi
i!
So, 1.0 Morgan (100cM) corresponds with q = 0.43
100 cM = on an average there are 100 cross overs per 100 meiosis.
By putting the values;
f (0) = e-1 . µ0
f(i) = e-µ . µi
i!
= 0.368
that is 37% no recombination.
= 0.368
that is 37% 1 recombination.
= 0.184
that is 18% 2 recombination.
= 0.061
that is 6% 3 recombination.
= 0.015
that is 2% 4 recombination.
0!
f (0) = e-1 . µ1
1!
f (0) = e-1 . µ2
2!
f (0) = e-1 . µ3
3!
f (0) = e-1 . µ4
4!
By summing up all: 37(0) + 37(1) + 18(2) + 6(3) + 2(4) = 99
That is approximately 100 recombination.
When we correspond d (1M or 100cM) value to q value = 0.43.
Observed as recombinants:
1 recombinant (i=1)
+ 3 recombinant (i=3)
= 37 + 6 = 43
Another mapping function (Kosambi’s) widely used in estimation of
genetic distance in mammals, especially with reference to
”Interference” during meiotic recombination.
Kosambi's mapping function:
Kosambi’s mapping function allows for interference (I), whereby one
crossover tends to prevent other crossovers in the same region:
The amount of interference allowed in the Kosambi map function
decreases as the loci get further apart, and is zero for unlinked loci:
Kosambi's mapping function is the preferred mapping function in
mammals.
Interference (I) defined as ”the effect in which the crossing ovr in a
certain region reduces the probability of a crossing over in a adjacent
area.”
Interference (I) defined as ”the effect in which the crossing ovr in a certain
region reduces the probability of a crossing over in a adjacent area.”
For example: for 10% interference, i.e., I = 0.1,
The Frequency of expected double recombination will be:
I = 0.1 = 1 – [Observed no. Of double recombination / 0.043]
So, Oberverved no. of double recombination = 0.9 x 0.04 = 0.036.
The genetic distance, d, between two loci is a
function of:
The physical distance between the two loci
•The recombinogenic potential of the
intervening sequences: the genome is
characterized by recombination hot- and cold
spots (1).
•The sex of the parent: generally speaking, the
recombination rate between two loci is
expected to be higher in the homogametic sex
than in the heterogametic sex. In some
chromosome regions, however, such as
subtelomeric and imprinted regions, this ratio
may be inverted (1).
Individual variation in recombination rates.
The total genetic map length (m = Morgan), and therefore the
average kb / cM ratio, differs between species:

Detection of linkage
LOD score values of more than 3 are considered as
linkage between STR marker and QTL.
Formula’s for Lod-score:
Z(q) = log10 [ L(q) / L(0.5);
= log10 [(L(q)] - log10 [(L(0.5)];
q Differs significantly from 0.5 if lod score exceed value 3.
