Multi-Omics

Definition
AI-generated

Multi-omics jointly measures and integrates two or more molecular layers—commonly genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, epigenome, and microbiome—within the same individuals or matched cohorts.

Why it matters in GWAS

Combining layers helps prioritize causal genes (e.g. genotypeeQTL → protein → metabolite chains), refine pathway models, and reduce false interpretation from any single assay modality.

Example usage

"Multi-Omics appears in the methods to support interpretation of the primary results."
