Σύνοψη	Network-based (graph-genome) variant calling replaces the conventional single linear reference genome with a variation graph — a network in which nodes represent sequence segments and edges represent known alternative paths through the genome. Reads are mapped onto this graph, enabling detection of SNPs, indels, and structural variants with substantially lower reference bias than linear-reference pipelines. Key tools include the Variation Graph Toolkit (vg) and Graphtyper.	Copy number variation (CNV) analysis is a genomic pipeline for detecting regions where individuals carry fewer or more copies of a DNA segment than the reference genome. CNVs span kilobases to megabases and are a major class of structural variation implicated in cancer, neurodevelopmental disorders, and population diversity. The pipeline typically processes SNP array intensities or read-depth signals from whole-genome sequencing, applies segmentation algorithms, calls gain and loss events, and annotates them against gene and clinical databases.
