  2. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  3. Root locus analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus_analysis

    Spirule. In control theory and stability theory, root locus analysis is a graphical method for examining how the roots of a system change with variation of a certain system parameter, commonly a gain within a feedback system.

  4. Problem of Apollonius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

    This special case of Apollonius' problem is also known as the four coins problem. [47] The three given circles of this Apollonius problem form a Steiner chain tangent to the two Soddy's circles. Figure 12: The two solutions (red) to Apollonius' problem with mutually tangent given circles (black), labeled by their curvatures.

    Locus (mathematics), the set of points satisfying a particular condition, often forming a curve Root locus analysis, a diagram visualizing the position of roots as a parameter changes

  6. Linkage disequilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_disequilibrium

    The advantage of this method is that it shows the individual genotype frequencies and includes a visual difference between absolute (where the alleles at the two loci always appear together) and complete (where alleles at the two loci show a strong connection but with the possibility of recombination) linkage disequilibrium by the shape of the ...

  7. STR analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STR_analysis

    Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis is a common molecular biology method used to compare allele repeats at specific loci in DNA between two or more samples. A short tandem repeat is a microsatellite with repeat units that are 2 to 7 base pairs in length, with the number of repeats varying among individuals, making STRs effective for human ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Locus heterogeneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_heterogeneity

    Heterogenous loci involved in formation of the same phenotype often contribute to similar biological pathways. [1] The role and degree of locus heterogeneity is an important consideration in understanding disease phenotypes and in the development of therapeutic treatment for these diseases.
