Résumé	Bayesian ChIP-seq peak calling applies probabilistic models — typically Poisson, negative binomial, or hidden Markov models with Bayesian inference — to detect genomic regions enriched for a protein of interest in chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing experiments. By explicitly modelling read-count noise and incorporating prior distributions, Bayesian callers yield posterior probabilities of enrichment rather than simple p-values, providing a principled framework for uncertainty quantification across the genome.	An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) is a hypothesis-free, genome-scale method that systematically tests whether epigenetic marks — predominantly CpG-site DNA methylation — differ between individuals with and without a trait, disease, or exposure. By scanning hundreds of thousands of genomic positions simultaneously, EWAS identifies loci where the epigenome is reproducibly associated with a phenotype, offering a layer of biological regulation that classical GWAS does not capture.
