    Glossary Genetic Loci

    specific location on a chromosome for a particular gene

    A genetic locus (plural: loci) is a specific, fixed position on a chromosome where a particular gene or genetic marker is located. Think of it as an address for a gene within the vast neighborhood of the genome. This location is crucial for understanding genetic inheritance and variations, as it helps scientists pinpoint where specific traits or disorders, such as those related to alopecia, are encoded in our DNA.
