[[Image:Double-crossover.png|frame|right|DNA segment with three genes, showing a double recombination event. If the individual recombination rates (between A and B; and between B and C) are known, then the c.o.c. between the regions AB and BC can be calculated from the rate of double recombination.]]

In genetics, the '''coefficient of coincidence (c.o.c.)''' is a measure of '''interference''' in the formation of [[chromosomal crossover]]s during [[meiosis]]. It is generally the case that, if there is a crossover at one spot on a chromosome, this decreases the likelihood of a crossover in a nearby spot.<ref name="itga">[[Anthony J. F. Griffiths|Griffiths AJF]], [[Susan R. Wessler|Wessler SR]], [[Richard Lewontin|Lewontin RC]], [[Sean B. Carroll|Carroll SB]] (2008) ''Introduction to Genetic Analysis''. New York: W. H. Freeman and Company.</ref> This is called interference.

The coefficient of coincidence is typically calculated from recombination rates between three genes. If there are three genes in the order A B C, then we can determine how closely [[genetic linkage|linked]] they are by frequency of recombination. Knowing the recombination rate between A and B and the recombination rate between B and C, we would naively expect the double recombination rate to be the [[product (mathematics)|product]] of these two rates.

The coefficient of coincidence is calculated by dividing the ''actual'' frequency of double recombinants by this expected frequency:<ref name="itga" />

:'''c.o.c.''' = actual double recombinant frequency / expected double recombinant frequency

Interference is then defined as follows:<ref name="itga" />

:'''interference''' = 1 − c.o.c.

This figure tells us how strongly a crossover in one of the DNA regions (AB or BC) interferes with the formation of a crossover in the other region.

==Worked example==

[[Drosophila melanogaster|Drosophila]] females of [[genotype]] ''a+a b+b c+c'' were crossed with males of genotype ''aa bb cc''. This led to 1000 progeny of the following [[phenotype]]s:

:a+b+c+: '''244''' (parental genotype, shows no recombination)
:a+b+c: '''81''' (recombinant between B and C)
:a+bc+: '''23''' (double recombinant)
:a+bc: '''152''' (recombinant between A and B)
:ab+c+: '''148''' (recombinant between A and B)
:ab+c: '''27''' (double recombinant)
:abc+: '''89''' (recombinant between B and C)
:abc: '''236''' (parental genotype, shows no recombination)

From these numbers it is clear that the b+/b [[locus (genetics)|locus]] lies between the a+/a locus and the c+/c locus.

There are 23 + 152 + 148 + 27 = 350 progeny showing recombination between genes A and B. And there are 81 + 23 + 27 + 89 = 220 progeny showing recombination between genes B and C. Thus the expected rate of double recombination is (350 / 1000) * (220 / 1000) = 0.077, or 77 per 1000.

However, there are actually only 23 + 27 = 50 double recombinants. The coefficient of coincidence is therefore 50 / 77 = 0.65.

Interference is 1 − 0.65 = 0.35.

==High negative interference==

When three genetic markers, a, b and c, are all nearby (e.g. within the same [[gene]]) the coefficient of coincidence (calculated as in the above example) is generally found to be significantly greater than 1. This implies that any individual [[genetic recombination|recombination]] event tends to be more closely associated with another nearby recombination event than would be expected by chance. This type of association is known as “negative interference”. When the coefficient of coincidence is substantially greater than 1, it is known as “high negative interference". High negative interference has been reported in [[Escherichia virus T4|bacteriophage T4]] (e.g. <ref>Chase M, Doermann AH. High Negative Interference over Short Segments of the Genetic Structure of Bacteriophage T4. Genetics. 1958 May;43(3):332-53. PMID 17247760</ref><ref>Edgar RS, Steinberg CM. On the origin of high negative interference over short segments of the genetic structure of bacteriophage T4. Virology. 1958 Aug;6(1):115-28.
