Σύνοψη	Bayesian variant calling is a computational pipeline that uses probabilistic inference to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, and deletions in a genome by treating sequencing data as evidence and computing posterior probabilities over candidate genotypes. Unlike deterministic threshold-based callers, Bayesian approaches explicitly model sequencing error, mapping uncertainty, and prior genotype frequencies to produce calibrated genotype likelihoods that can be used for downstream filtering and association testing.	Single-cell variant calling is a bioinformatics pipeline that identifies DNA sequence variants — single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), small insertions and deletions, and copy-number alterations — within individual cells rather than across a bulk tissue mixture. By resolving the mutational landscape cell by cell, it reveals intra-tumoral heterogeneity, clonal architecture, and somatic mutation patterns that bulk sequencing obscures. The approach is central to cancer genomics, developmental biology, and any study where cell-to-cell genetic diversity is the primary question.
