Abstract

In attempting to establish the order of genetic loci by constructing a map from pairwise linkage data, one assumes that the loci satisfy a linear-order relation. If the data utilized in the construction are not consistent with the linear-order assumption, then a very small change in the data may lead to a large qualitative change in the map. An example of such an instability is presented in this paper.
