Diversity was estimated from at least one genome for 987 EST loci on the map.
Forensic scientists usually analyze 13 specific locations, or loci, on human chromosomes to obtain a complete DNA profile.
Then they looked at these three loci, on the genes of another 662 dogs representing 108 breeds — from fluffy Old English sheepdogs to short-haired pugs.
So scientists can agree, for example, on how many loci on a DNA strand to use in their analyses, and computers can do the necessary computations of probability.
They were able to identify mutations at specific points, or loci, on three genes linked to fur length, curliness and growth pattern (bushy eyebrows, beards and other features that dog breeders refer to as furnishings).
As students manipulated the two cursors, they attended to particular loci on the screen.
Our comparisons revealed interesting regions corresponding to severely distorted loci on chromosomes 3, 5, and 6.
The positions of the phased loci on MSU7.0 chromosomes are indicated.
Genome-wide mapping provided suggestive linkage at two loci on chromosomal arms 3p and 15q.
Based on various studies for shattering, there are at least ten loci on eight of the 12 rice chromosomes, and for dormancy, there are at least 25 loci on ten chromosomes (summarised by [78]).
The secondary traits, such as canopy temperature (loci on chromosomes 4 and 6) and leaf drying (loci on chromosome 4), co-locate with yield QTLs under stress (Table 4).
