Zusammenfassung	Bayesian ChIP-seq peak calling applies probabilistic models — typically Poisson, negative binomial, or hidden Markov models with Bayesian inference — to detect genomic regions enriched for a protein of interest in chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing experiments. By explicitly modelling read-count noise and incorporating prior distributions, Bayesian callers yield posterior probabilities of enrichment rather than simple p-values, providing a principled framework for uncertainty quantification across the genome.	A Bayesian EWAS is a genome-scale association analysis that links epigenetic marks — most commonly CpG-site DNA methylation — to a phenotype or trait of interest, replacing or supplementing the classical frequentist p-value framework with a Bayesian probabilistic model. It yields posterior probabilities of association and credible intervals for each CpG site, allowing formal incorporation of prior biological knowledge and more principled handling of the multiple-testing burden intrinsic to testing hundreds of thousands of sites simultaneously.
