DNase-seq

Definition
AI-generated

Sequencing of DNase I hypersensitive sites mapping open chromatin and regulatory accessibility at genome scale.

Why it matters in GWAS

Bioinformatics methods determine how variants, expression, and epigenetic state are measured and summarized—shaping GWAS covariates, multi-omic integration, and functional follow-up.

Example usage

"DNase-seq data were integrated with GWAS loci to prioritize candidate regulatory mechanisms."
