Σύνοψη	Time-series single-cell RNA-seq analysis captures gene expression across multiple time points at single-cell resolution to reveal how cell populations emerge, transition, and diverge during dynamic biological processes such as development, differentiation, or disease progression. By combining pseudotime ordering, RNA velocity, and differential dynamics testing, researchers reconstruct the temporal trajectory of individual cells and identify the gene regulatory changes that drive biological transitions.	eQTL analysis identifies genomic loci (variants, typically SNPs) whose genotype statistically associates with variation in the expression level of one or more genes. By jointly profiling DNA-level variation and RNA-level expression in the same individuals, eQTL studies decode the regulatory grammar of the genome — revealing which variants control how much a gene is transcribed, in which tissues, and under what conditions.
