genetics - What does min mean?


I read that



"trp operon is located at 27 min on E.coli chromosome."



What does "min" mean ?



Answer



Min means minutes. Minutes are counted for interruption points since onset of DNA transfer in F-pili-mediated conjugation. The point "0" is not associated with ori, but is close to thr. The total chromosome size is 100 min (time taken for conjugation).
