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

The MGI database is gene-centric and associates transcripts from the same locus to a single gene object in the database.
Apart from this, the observed frequencies are roughly similar to those with which these same sequence classifications occur in the human genome [ 1]; therefore, other than a preference for AT-rich DNA, L1 insertion at a particular genomic locus may be influenced more by local chromatin structure than by specific long-range sequence composition of the DNA.
VNTR Locus-9 was the only locus that contained the same number of repeat units (3 complete units) in all three genomes.
They propagate by being transcribed from an internal RNA polymerase II promoter [ 15, 16], and then use their endonuclease and reverse transcriptase respectively to nick a target site and reverse transcribe L1 RNA, integrating the L1 into a new genomic locus [ 12, 17, 18]; this process is known as target-site-primed reverse transcription (TPRT).
We recently identified the Lps locus through positional cloning [ 10] and showed that the LPS-resistance phenotype was caused by defects in the Toll-like receptor 4 gene ( Tlr4 ) [ 11].
