Résumé	Network-based eQTL analysis extends classical eQTL mapping by embedding genetic variant-to-expression associations within gene regulatory or protein interaction networks. Rather than treating each SNP-gene pair independently, this approach leverages network topology — such as co-expression modules or known pathway structures — to improve statistical power, reduce multiple testing burden, and reveal how genetic variants perturb entire regulatory programs rather than isolated transcripts.	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.
