Centimorgan (cM): A unit of measure of genetic recombination frequency. One cM is equal to a 1% chance that a marker at one genetic locus will be separated from a marker at another locus due to crossing over in a single generation. In humans, 1 cM is equivalent, on average, to 1 million base pairs. The centimorgan is named after the pioneering (and Nobel Prize winning) geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan.
Mil. The mil is a unit of measure typically used in manufacturing and engineering for describing distance tolerances with high precision or for specifying the thickness of materials. One mil is equal to one thousandth of an inch, or 10 -3 inches. The mil is also referred to as thou. The closest unit to the mil in the metric system is the micrometer: One mil is equal to 25.4 m. One millimeter, in the metric system, is equivalent to 1/1000 (one thousandth) of a meter. 1 mm = 10-3 m.
