Genetic information
Information contained in a nucleotide base sequence in chromosomal DNA or RNA.
Genetic linkage
See linkage map; linkage.
Genetic map
The linear array of genes on a chromosome, based on recombination frequencies (linkage map) or physical location (physical or chromosomal map). See mapping.
Genetic selection
The process of selecting genes, cells, clones, etc., within populations or between populations or species. Genetic selection usually results in differential success rates of different genotypes, reflecting many variables, including selection pressure and genetic variability in populations.
