A "specific locus" refers to a particular location or spot. It is used to pinpoint a specific place or position, often in reference to genetics and DNA, to identify a precise spot on a chromosome or a specific gene. Full definition
Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis revealed enrichment of H3K27me3 at specific loci in KDM6A - null cells, including PRC2 / EZH2 and their downstream targets. (stm.sciencemag.org)
Transformed cells such as the Jurkat line may show aberrant DNA methylation patterns at specific loci [57], possibly complicating analyses of cytosine methylation and HIV - 1 latency. (journals.plos.org)
New mouse models can be generated with CRISPR / Cas9 by injecting Cas9 mRNA and either one or multiple single guide RNAs (sgRNA) directly into mouse embryos to generate precise genomic edits into specific loci (Figures 1 and 2). (jax.org)
