A physical map is derived from overlapping short pieces of DNA and is used to distinguish genes tens of kilobases apart. A cytogenetic map is based on the physical locations of genes on chromosomes, while a linkage map shows the relative positions of genes on a chromosome based on the frequency of their co-inheritance. A sequence map shows the exact order of nucleotides in a particular DNA region.
