Sentence examples for be the causative locus from inspiring English sources

Subsequent work indicates that TRAF1 is more likely to be the causative locus [ 75].

This genomic interval contains the gene Oca2, previously demonstrated to be the causative locus for albinism in Astyanax cavefish.

This leads to the interesting possibility that a miRNA, or multiple members of a family, could be the causative loci of a QTL.

The closer a marker is to the causative locus, the greater the excess of power for the HWD test over the LD test.

Further experiments are underway to characterize the causative locus or loci, and preliminary analyses indicate two genes involved in dolichol/dolichyl biosynthesis may be contributing to the skewing difference, possibly by changing cell wall composition.

When associations are found, they will usually be the result of either having genotyped the causative variant, or, perhaps more often, having genotyped a variant that is tightly linked to the causative locus.

However, it will be difficult to further map the causative locus because its effect on skewing is barely above significance threshold.

Markers that are on the same chromosome as a causative locus can be in linkage disequilibrium with the causative locus due to shared inheritance of physically linked markers.

The genetic association found in the different studies may be in linkage disequilibrium with the causative locus, thereby leading to confounding of the results.

Finally, having used the approach as outlined above without arriving at a diagnosis against a background of consanguinity, such negative finding adds to the suspicion that the disorder may not have been documented before or, more likely, that the causative locus has not yet been mapped.

Here again, we suggest that these SNP markers are in linkage disequilibrium with the causative locus (or transcription factors).
