Example of bands. A locus (plural loci) is the specific location or position of a gene, DNA sequence, on a chromosome, in the field of genetics. Each chromosome carries many genes; humans' estimated ' haploid ' protein coding genes are 20,000-25,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.or example, the locus of gene OCA1 may be written 11q1.4-q2.1, meaning it is on the long arm of chromosome 11, somewhere in the range from sub-band 4 of region 1 to sub-band 1 of region 2.
A quantitative trait locus is a section of DNA which correlates with variation in a phenotype. Usually the QTL is linked to, or contains, the genes which control that phenotype. QTLs are mapped by identifying which molecular markers correlate with an observed trait. This is often an early step in identifying and sequencing the actual genes that cause the trait variation.
