Resumen	Pathway enrichment analysis (PEA) is a statistical approach that takes a list of genes or proteins of interest — typically derived from a differential expression or proteomics experiment — and identifies which pre-defined biological pathways or functional gene sets are represented more often than expected by chance. By mapping individual molecular changes onto curated pathway knowledge bases such as KEGG, Gene Ontology, or Reactome, PEA translates long gene lists into interpretable biological processes, making it a central tool in the post-analysis of high-throughput omics experiments.	Network-based pathway enrichment analysis integrates molecular interaction networks — protein-protein interactions, signalling graphs, or gene regulatory networks — with omics measurements to identify biological pathways that are coordinately altered in a condition. Unlike classical over-representation or gene-set enrichment approaches that treat pathway genes as independent lists, this family of methods propagates signals across network edges, capturing the topology of interactions and uncovering dysregulated modules that flat-list enrichment would miss.
