Σύνοψη	Time-series variant calling is a bioinformatics pipeline that identifies and tracks genomic variants — typically somatic mutations — across multiple sequencing samples collected from the same subject at different time points. It is most widely applied in cancer genomics to reconstruct tumour evolution, monitor minimal residual disease, and detect the emergence of therapy-resistant clones. By jointly modelling variant allele frequencies across the temporal dimension, the method distinguishes true somatic changes from sequencing noise and estimates clonal dynamics over time.	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.
