The phrase "a selected locus in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts such as scientific research, geography, or any field where a specific location or point of interest is being discussed.
Example: "The study focused on a selected locus in the genome that is associated with increased risk of disease."
Alternatives: "a chosen location in" or "a specific point in".
In genetic algorithms the operation of mutation is usually implemented as a change to a gene at a randomly selected locus in a chromosome.
Previous studies have measured genetic divergence induced by bidirectional CI on a selected locus by quantifying the reduction in the effective migration rate, or the production of hybrid offspring [ 28].
However, loci detected as being under selection using this approach may be an underrepresentative sample of all truly selected loci; in particular, selection on standing variation and recessive loci are likely underrepresented (Teshima et al. 2006).
As in our case this would produce a chromosome which is not a valid solution, we implement mutation as the swapping of genes at two randomly selected loci in a chromosome.
This study covers 13 generations, indicating that there will be a significant linkage drag around selected loci in this study.
Applying these test statistics to our data, we generally find a greater proportion of positively selected loci in D. pseudoobscura.
Initially 100,000 simulations under the infinite allele mutation model were run using all populations and all unlinked loci to determine a first candidate subset of selected loci in order to remove them from the computation of the neutral F ST.
Based on the genome data analyzed herein, and on the limited re-sequencing of selected loci in a panel of representative strains (minimum of 3 per DTU [ 31], as well as other unpublished data, including the draft genomes of TcII and TcI strains), we estimate that ~ 50-60% of the genetic diversity of the species has been sampled.
We ask how long it will survive on the island, given that a migration selection polymorphism is maintained at equilibrium at both selected loci in the background (A, B).
ChIP-seq fragment densities of G9a (x-axis) are plotted against ChIP-qPCR fold-enrichment of G9a (percentage of input) (y-axis) at 30 selected loci in 293T cells that represent a broad range of ChIP-seq fragment counts.
