The phrase "at a random locus" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to genetics, biology, or any field that discusses locations or points within a structure or system.
Example: "The researchers found a mutation at a random locus in the genome that affected the organism's traits."
Alternatives: "at a random location" or "at a random site".
On the one hand, it is possible that all affected siblings share the same sequence at a random chromosomal locus by chance.
The coancestry coefficient, f ij, between individuals i and j is defined as the probability that, at a random, neutral, autosomal locus, an allele drawn randomly from individual i is identical by descent (IBD) to an allele drawn randomly from individual j.
The 384 data set, stored in db dbsnp, was generated by mass-spectrometry at 384 random loci across the genome in a 96-accession sample that differs from that of the 2010 data set.
Cytosine methylation alteration occurred both at the mPing-flanks and at random loci sampled globally in callus and regenerated plants of all three genotypes.
To establish an efficient AMT method for high-throughput insertional mutagenesis in A. aculeatus, we optimized the AMT conditions to effectively isolate transformants harboring single-copy T-DNA insertions at random loci.
The estimate of π0 for this set of tests is approximately 0.898, indicating that about 518/5067 of these single marker linkage tests at random loci detect true trans-acting QTL.
In a previous study, where different chromosome positions of the mutNHEJ and GT reporters were taken into account, the I-SceI-induced mutNHEJ GT ratio was estimated at random loci in HCA-2 (human colon cancer) cells to be 6 1 (23).
Similarly, analysis of centromeric repeats in human X chromosomes revealed that repeats that are near each other (within ~15 kb) were significantly more similar than those at random loci either on the same or different X chromosomes [ 30].
As the number of markers increases, the probability of IBS at a random marker approaches the probability of IBS at random genomic loci.
