Resum	Network-based microbiome diversity analysis integrates graph-theoretic co-occurrence network inference with classical alpha- and beta-diversity metrics to characterize the structural organization of microbial communities. Rather than treating taxa as independent entities, the method models pairwise microbial associations as edges in a network, enabling identification of keystone taxa, community modules, and ecological interaction patterns that simple diversity indices cannot detect.	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.
