    Introduction


    SMAC-seq (Single-Molecule long-read Accessible Chromatin mapping sequencing assay) is a single-molecule resolution method for profiling chromatin accessibility across long genomic regions. This approach utilizes DNA methyltransferases that preferentially methylate accessible chromatin regions. By detecting these methylation marks through Oxford Nanopore sequencing platform, SMAC-seq enables direct identification of open chromatin regions and compacted domains. The technique provides high-resolution accessibility maps across kilobase-scale regions, allowing for quantitative assessment of chromatin states and spatial correlations between distal regulatory elements.
