Title

We should change the title of this article to genome mapping to be correct. How can we do that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knownothing25 (talk • contribs) 03:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. I'd tend to split the gene_mapping entry into two separate pages and to give each a very different name. Please help. Smoe 00:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New section or page

This page really needs some attention! One thing that should be there is a section (or even a new page?) on clone maps. [1] describes this nicely but technically, could be a good ref. Akita86 (talk) 19:40, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I have removed the templates proposing to merge gene map into this article. They have been there for a year and even the proposer has not bothered to make a case for the merge, or even opened a discussion. According to gene map it is the map of the regions of an individual gene. This is a different subject to this article which defines itself as mapping gene positions on a chromosome.

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Gene mapping/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

==Expansion needed== I feel that gene mapping is a fairly important topic within genetics, and the page is very poor compared to subjects in the same area. There is a number of topics that could be covered, for instance clone maps (as noted on talk page) Akita86 (talk) 19:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I propose Gene map be merged to this article (Gene mapping) since they seem to talk about very much the same topic: Physical and genetic mapping, and even their utilization in detecting disease genes. Though they are not exactly the same, the gene map article talks more about methods of mapping genes rather than gene maps. Moreover, the product of gene mapping would naturally be a gene map. --H₂NCH₂COOH (Talk) 06:54, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative solution: I guess the article gene map probably needs an overhaul if the two articles should not be merged. The article genetic linkage mentions that "A linkage map is not a physical map (such as a radiation reduced hybrid map) or gene map" without giving any citation. But neither has gene map given any useful citation (the references don't explicitly mention "gene map") proving that a linkage map can be called a "gene map" either (despite giving the two approaches, one of which is about linkage analysis). So either the statement in genetic linkage is wrong or gene map is wrong by covering too many things that do not belong in its topic (but probably belong in gene mapping, thus requiring either a merger or an overhaul of gene map). I am not professional so I cannot decide which one is correct. --H₂NCH₂COOH (Talk) 08:02, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support - seems like your initial proposal is sound.--Iztwoz (talk) 07:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
