Σύνοψη	Time-series pathway enrichment analysis identifies biological pathways whose coordinated gene activity changes significantly across ordered time points. Rather than treating each time point independently, the method models the temporal trajectory of gene expression within each pathway and tests whether entire biological programs — not just individual genes — are activated or suppressed in a time-dependent manner. It is widely used in developmental biology, drug response studies, and infection time courses.	Multi-omics pathway enrichment analysis is a bioinformatics pipeline that integrates molecular data from two or more omics layers — such as transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics — and tests whether the combined signal from those layers converges on specific biological pathways more than expected by chance. By considering multiple molecular levels simultaneously, it identifies pathway-level dysregulation that single-omics analyses would miss.
