Comment. This diagram is not at all comprehensible to me. I know it is a complex technical subject, but I feel more could be done to explain to non-specialists what is being depicted. On a small technical point, the alignment and spacing of the pale yellow boxes is messy. 81.152.230.168 (talk) 20:54, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think it would be less confusing if the arrows lined up properly. Kaldari (talk) 06:19, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Agree with 81 and Kaldari. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:11, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Even as someone who did not major in biology, I thought it was pretty easy to understand. It's a rough sketch of the physical positions of where certain genes are located along the chromosome. These positions can be determined by analyzing how frequently two different alleles are inherited at the same time. More attention needs to be paid to the presentation though: as 81.152.320.168 said, the alignment and spacing of the pale yellow boxes are messy. And perhaps the caption could be a little less jargony. dllu (t,c) 08:17, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
