SMRT sequencing

Definition
AI-generated

Single Molecule Real-Time sequencing on zero-mode waveguides producing long reads with native molecule context (methylation on some platforms).

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

"Quality-controlled SMRT sequencing data were used to prioritize robust loci and downstream functional follow-up."
