Tiivistelmä	Machine learning-assisted microbiome diversity analysis integrates classical alpha and beta diversity metrics with supervised or unsupervised ML models to classify host phenotypes, identify discriminant taxa, and uncover community-level signatures from 16S rRNA or shotgun metagenomic data. It extends traditional diversity analysis beyond descriptive statistics toward predictive and explanatory modelling across health, ecology, and environmental science.	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.
