How can you use “locus” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Third, we grew 54 independent liquid cultures of the heterozygotes in nonselective medium and then selected for cells that were Arg +and Ura +. Uracil prototrophy requires restitution of the integrity of the disrupted ura3 gene of the UAU1 cassette by recombination between the overlapping regions of the ura3Δ3' and ura3Δ5' fragments with excision of the intervening ARG4 gene [ 16 ] . If CaCET1 were nonessential, then recombination of UAU1 into the second copy of CaCET1 (to generate cacet1::UAU1/cacet1::UAU1 ) followed by excisional recombination of ARG4 in one allele to restore URA3 (generating cacet1::UAU1/cacet1::URA3 ) would result in the selected Arg +Ura +phenotype with complete loss of the wild-type CaCET1 locus.
Some nucleus-to-nucleus variations in the exact position of each locus relative to the rest of the genome can be expected [ 9].
3. Upon exposure to a trans-silencer locus, certain Arabidopsis transgenes display an alteration in their epistatic interaction with other transgenes.
The MGI database is gene-centric and associates transcripts from the same locus to a single gene object in the database.
