  2. Locus (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(genetics)

    In genetics, a locus (pl.: loci) is a specific, fixed position on a chromosome where a particular gene or genetic marker is located. [1] Each chromosome carries many genes, with each gene occupying a different position or locus; in humans, the total number of protein-coding genes in a complete haploid set of 23 chromosomes is estimated at ...

    Similarly, the number of individuals in the case group having allele C is represented by 'X' and the number of individuals in the control group having allele C is represented by 'Y'. In this case the odds ratio for allele T is A:B (meaning 'A to B', in standard odds terminology) divided by X:Y, which in mathematical notation is simply (A/B)/(X/Y).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_conformation...

    Each eigenvector corresponds to a set of loci, which are not necessarily linearly contiguous, that share structural features. [65] A significant confounding factor in 3C technologies is the frequent non-specific interactions between genomic loci that occur due to random polymer behavior. An interaction between two loci must be confirmed as ...

    Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.

  8. Ozone depletion is a separate problem caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) [233] which have been released into the atmosphere. [234] However, CFCs are strong greenhouse gases. [235] [236] Further, the hole in the ozone layer is shrinking and in 2019 was the smallest it had been since 1982, [237] [238] while global warming continues.

  9. Open problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_problem

    [2] [3] An important open mathematics problem solved in the early 21st century is the Poincaré conjecture. Open problems exist in all scientific fields. For example, one of the most important open problems in biochemistry is the protein structure prediction problem [4] [5] – how to predict a protein's structure from its sequence.
