HiFi sequencing

Definition
AI-generated

PacBio highly accurate long reads combining SMRT circular consensus accuracy sufficient for variant phasing, assembly, and complex locus characterization.

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

"HiFi sequencing data were integrated with association signals to refine biological interpretation of lead loci."
