Nucleoside triphosphate (NTP)

Definition
AI-generated

Activated nucleotide substrates for polymerases; includes ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP for RNA and dNTPs for DNA.

Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS hits are interpreted through gene structure, regulation, and variant consequence; molecular vocabulary connects association statistics to mechanism.

Example usage

"A replication step checks whether Nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) assumptions remain stable across cohorts."
