Abstract:
The genome length is a fundamental feature of a species. This note outlined the general concept and estimation method of the
physical and genetic length. Some formulae for estimating the genetic length were derived in detail. As examples, the genome
genetic length of Pinus pinaster Ait. and the genetic length of chromosome VI ofOryza sativa L. were estimated from partial linkage data.
