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.	RNA-seq differential expression (DE) analysis identifies genes whose transcript abundance differs significantly between two or more biological conditions — for example, treated versus control, or diseased versus healthy tissue. Starting from raw sequencing reads, the pipeline moves through alignment, count-based normalization, statistical modeling of count dispersion, hypothesis testing, and multiple-testing correction to produce a ranked list of differentially expressed genes accompanied by fold-change estimates and adjusted p-values.
