Abstract

Proximal markers close to the selected marker in bacterial conjugation experiments show recombination frequencies varying linearly as the map distance from the selected marker. It is suggested in the present study that the recombination frequencies of distant proximal markers are not always around 50 % and can provide useful information in mating experiments, e.g. for Escherichia coli, existing experimental results indicate that there is only about one cross-over for every ten-minute of the map.
