Itâs easy to remember the meaning of imbalance when you break the word into parts. You might recognize the prefix im-as a way to say ânot.â Combine that with the familiar word balance, and you come up with something that is decidedly out of whack, or not balanced.
DNA Pattern Find. DNA Pattern Find accepts one or more sequences along with a search pattern and returns the number and positions of sites that match the pattern. Use DNA Pattern Find to locate sequence regions that match a consensus sequence of interest. Paste a raw sequence or one or more FASTA sequences into the text area below. White space and digits are removed before the pattern matching is performed. Input limit is 500000 characters.
In other words, the nearer two genes are on a chromosome, the lower the chance of recombination between them, and the more likely they are to be inherited together. Markers on different chromosomes are perfectly unlinked. Genetic linkage is the most prominent exception to Gregor Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment. The first experiment to demonstrate linkage was carried out in 1905. At the time, the reason why certain traits tend to be inherited together was unknown.
