Résumé	Bayesian copy number variation (CNV) analysis is a probabilistic framework for detecting genomic segments where an individual's DNA copy count deviates from the diploid norm. By placing prior distributions over copy-number states and updating them with array CGH, SNP array, or sequencing read-depth evidence, the approach yields posterior probabilities for each copy-number state along the genome, providing statistically principled uncertainty quantification that frequentist segmentation methods lack.	Bayesian GWAS applies Bayesian statistical inference to genome-wide association studies, replacing classical p-value thresholds with Bayes factors and posterior probabilities. This framework naturally incorporates prior knowledge about effect sizes and variant frequencies, quantifies evidence for association on a continuous scale, and supports principled fine-mapping of causal variants within associated loci. It is widely used in complex trait genetics, population genomics, and translational research where uncertainty quantification and multi-variant modeling matter.
