Definition
AI-generated

A Miami plot stacks two Manhattan plots along a shared chromosomal x-axis, with one summary-statistics series on top and the other mirrored below the axis.

Why it matters in GWAS

Side-by-side Manhattans are harder to compare base-pair for base-pair; Miami plots make shared peaks, shifted architecture, and pleiotropy patterns visible at a glance when both studies use harmonized builds and variant order.

Example usage

"The Miami plot aligned height and BMI summary statistics, highlighting loci with overlapping signal on chr4."
