Everything about Cosegregation

Transmission of multiple close together genes

Cosegregation, in genealogy, refers to the tendency of two or more genes located close together on the same chromosome to be inherited together during cell division. Due to their physical proximity, these genes are considered genetically linked and are likely to be inherited together. Wikipedia →
