The following information is about Linkage.
Linkage Defined
- The greater association in inheritance of two or more nonallelic genes than is to be expected from independent assortment; genes are linked because they reside on the same chromosome.
- Analysis of pedigree the tracking of a gene through a family by following the inheritance of a (closely associated) gene or trait and a DNA marker.
This definition is in context to Genetics. See more contextual defintions for Linkage.
Gene Map Aims To Combat Blood Flukes
Published July 4, 2009, 10:21 pm, Science Daily
The first microsatellite-based genetic linkage map has been published for Schistosoma mansoni, a blood fluke that is known to infect over 90 million people in Africa, the Middle East and the New World. Researchers hope the map will stimulate research and open doors to new advances in combating this neglected human pathogen.

Risk Of Breast Cancer And A Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism
Published July 3, 2009, 4:08 am, Medical News Today
The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) known as 2q35-rs13387042 is associated with increased risk of estrogen receptor (ER) -positive and -negative breast cancer, according to a study published online July 1 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Sweeter fruit may follow melon genome completion
Published July 1, 2009, 9:27 am, Food Navigator USA
European scientists, from France and Spain, had previously succeeded in mapping two unconnected sections of the melon DNA sequence. Now, in a new study published in the Journal of the American Society of Horticultural Sciences, US researchers claim to have joined them up.
This Week in Genome Biology

Charles Criscione at Texas A&M University was first author on a study appearing this week in Genome Biology that created a genetic linkage map for the blood fluke, Schistosoma mansoni , in order to enable more research on this "neglected pathogen," says the abstract.
Combating Blood Flukes By Using Gene Map
Published June 30, 2009, 10:08 am, Medical News Today
The first microsatellite-based genetic linkage map has been published for Schistosoma mansoni, a blood fluke that is known to infect over 90 million people in Africa, the Middle East and the New World.

This Week in PNAS
Published June 30, 2009, 9:32 am, GenomeWeb News
In PNAS this week, Steven Gygi at Harvard led work that used stable-isotope dilution and high-resolution mass spec to measure kinase activity. His multiplexed assay was able to measure up to 90 site-specific peptide phosphorylation rates at the same time, and he could apply it to a variety of cells and cellular processes, including mitogen stimulation, cell cycle, pharmacological inhibition of ...
