{wiki=Single-molecule_real-time_sequencing}
Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing is a powerful DNA sequencing technology developed by Pacific Biosciences (PacBio). It enables the direct observation of DNA synthesis by observing individual DNA polymerase molecules as they incorporate nucleotides into a growing DNA strand in real time. This method provides several advantages over traditional sequencing techniques, making it particularly useful for a variety of genomic applications.
