Resum	Bayesian pathway enrichment analysis tests whether a predefined set of genes — a biological pathway — is systematically overrepresented among genes that show evidence of differential activity in an experiment. Unlike classical over-representation tests, it encodes prior biological knowledge as a prior distribution and updates it with the observed expression data, yielding posterior probabilities of enrichment rather than p-values. This probabilistic framing naturally handles small samples, multiple pathways, and uncertainty propagation in a coherent statistical framework.	Network-based pathway enrichment analysis integrates molecular interaction networks — protein-protein interactions, signalling graphs, or gene regulatory networks — with omics measurements to identify biological pathways that are coordinately altered in a condition. Unlike classical over-representation or gene-set enrichment approaches that treat pathway genes as independent lists, this family of methods propagates signals across network edges, capturing the topology of interactions and uncovering dysregulated modules that flat-list enrichment would miss.
