The phrase "a specific locus in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, genetics, or any field that discusses particular locations or points of interest within a larger system or structure.
Example: "The researchers identified a specific locus in the genome that is associated with the disease."
Alternatives: "a particular location in" or "a defined point in".
Together, the findings suggested that M2_3_22 could be introduced as a specific locus in the HLA-DRB1 gene region for linkage analysis and disease association studies.
Nevertheless, success rate of amplifying single fragment among distant fish species was relatively high, indicating the possibility to develop a genetic assay to target a specific locus in wide variety of fish taxa.
Altogether, these experiments complement the Southern blot data presented in Fig. 6 and firmly establish the capacity of rep68-positive dHV particles to accomplish insertion of large DNA at a specific locus in the human genome.
The crude analysis have shown that the average coverage is similar in all chromosomes (mean = 0.03 and standard deviation = 0.007) suggesting that such reads do not originate from a specific locus in a genome.
Each fragment theoretically corresponded to a specific locus in the genome.
Live-cell imaging can also be used to follow the position of a specific locus in the genome.
As an obvious extension, this approach could be applied to the purity determination of any trait for which allelic discrimination is possible at a specific locus, like in the case of mutants or naturally occurring variants not strictly classifiable as GMOs.
We compared global levels of DNA methylation as well as methylation of a specific locus (MyoD1) in ovarian cystadenomas, ovarian tumours of low malignant potential (LMP) and ovarian carcinomas to investigate the association between changes in DNA methylation and ovarian tumour development.
Therefore, we assume that no more than two distinct cell types exist with respect to a specific locus l: cells in which the locus is in its mutated state and cells in which the locus is in its normal state, further denoted mutated cells and normal cells, respectively.
The number of chromosomes sequenced for a specific population and a specific locus is given in Table 1.
The canonical p31-43 motif was not restricted to transcripts from a specific locus and was found in transcripts from all α-gliadin loci.
