What is Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing?
Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing, developed by Pacific Biosciences, is an advanced technology that allows for the real-time observation of DNA synthesis at the single-molecule level. This method provides long read lengths, high accuracy, and the ability to detect various DNA modifications. These attributes make SMRT sequencing a valuable tool in the field of epidemiology.
