The location of each gene is called a locus (plural: loci).

The total distribution of the 6270 gene loci was as follows: chromosome 1 : 627<BR>chromosome 2 : 379<BR>chromosome 3 : 323<BR>chromosome 4 : 247<BR>chromosome 5 : 266<BR>chromosome 6 : 380<BR>chromosome 7 : 293<BR>chromosome 8 : 210<BR>chromosome 9 : 244<BR>chromosome 10 : 218<BR>chromosome 11 : 401<BR>chromosome 12 : 336<BR>chromosome 13 : 101<BR>chromosome 14 : 194<BR>chromosome 15 : 163<BR>chromosome 16 : 241<BR>chromosome 17 : 384<BR>chromosome 18 : 89<BR>chromosome 19 : 404<BR>chromosome 20 : 136<BR>chromosome 21 : 91<BR>chromosome 22 : 142<BR>chromosome X : 377<BR>chromosome Y : 24
