The purpose of radioactive seed localization (RSL) of non-palpable lesions is to localize suspicious tissues for excision with the use of radioactive seeds. RSL differs from current localization procedures, whereby a non-radioactive wire is implanted into the lesion site and excised along with the affected tissue.
The distance between the genes (map units) are equal to the percentage of chromosomal crossover events that occurs between different alleles. Genetic linkage is the tendency of alleles that are located close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction. genetic map is a map based on the frequencies of recombination between markers during crossover of homologous chromosomes. The greater the frequency of recombination (segregation) between two genetic markers, the further apart they are assumed to be.
