Abstract
The genesis of Association mapping dates back to the 19th century, when Mendel provided proof to the scientific world that phenotypes are governed by ‘particles’ which are hereditary in nature. However, the foundation for association mapping was laid by Robins in the 20th century, when he proposed the ‘association theory’ between di-allelic loci.
