Data from Neurospora, Drosophila, and the mouse support the mapping parameter conventionally used for man, exclude the Haldane, Kosambi, and Carter—Falconer functions, and suggest a refinement for centromere mapping. Different sexes, chromosome arms, and types of data are surprisingly consistent. Double recombination frequencies are accurately predicted, but triple recombination frequencies are overestimated. The centromere appears to act on interference as an obligatory chiasma. Recombination across the centromere conforms to a simple approximation, based on the interval Markov assumption with a common mapping parameter. These results imply that mapping of n loci requires estimation of at most n parameters, and the relation between map distances and all recombination frequencies is explicit.
