The first task in mapping genes in three-point testcross is to determine their order on the chromosome and then to determine the locations of the cross overs. There are two ways, one can determine which gene is in the middle. Describe both the methods that explains  how one would determine the middle locus-  You can use three genes A, B, and C. You can decide whatever phenotype each gene encodes.

Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.
