The latest info on this makes much of what we thought was a simple
exchange at specific sites to be not quite true, so linkage is an
excellent word. It has gotten much more complicated with various sites
being crucial for a trait as well as more things happening at a single
site than what was thought to be true. Much more complicated than we
thought with RNA and proteins all in the mix to a greater extent. I
thought I understood genetics but it has gone way beyond my pay grade.
Anyone using a textbook is out of date.
Always appreciate your posts as informative and well thought out, even
when we disagree :)
