    Newgrange (Irish: Sí an Bhrú [1]) is a prehistoric monument in County Meath in Ireland, located on a rise overlooking the River Boyne, eight kilometres (five miles) west of the town of Drogheda. [2] It is an exceptionally grand passage tomb built during the Neolithic Period, around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian ...

  3. Gene mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_mapping

    There are two distinctive mapping approaches used in the field of genome mapping: genetic maps (also known as linkage maps) [7] and physical maps. [3] While both maps are a collection of genetic markers and gene loci, [8] genetic maps' distances are based on the genetic linkage information, while physical maps use actual physical distances usually measured in number of base pairs.

  4. Physical mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_mapping

    Physical map is a technique used in molecular biology to find the order and physical distance between DNA base pairs by DNA markers. [1] It is one of the gene mapping techniques which can determine the sequence of DNA base pairs with high accuracy.

Archaeoastronomy (also spelled archeoastronomy) is the interdisciplinary [1] or multidisciplinary [2] study of how people in the past "have understood the phenomena in the sky, how they used these phenomena and what role the sky played in their cultures".

  7. Microtubule-associated protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtubule-associated_protein

    In cell biology, microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are proteins that interact with the microtubules of the cellular cytoskeleton. MAPs are integral to the stability of the cell and its internal structures and the transport of components within the cell.

  8. Centimorgan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimorgan

    In genetics, a centimorgan (abbreviated cM) or map unit (m.u.) is a unit for measuring genetic linkage. It is defined as the distance between chromosome positions (also termed loci or markers ) for which the expected average number of intervening chromosomal crossovers in a single generation is 0.01.
