תקציר	Bayesian pathway enrichment analysis tests whether a predefined set of genes — a biological pathway — is systematically overrepresented among genes that show evidence of differential activity in an experiment. Unlike classical over-representation tests, it encodes prior biological knowledge as a prior distribution and updates it with the observed expression data, yielding posterior probabilities of enrichment rather than p-values. This probabilistic framing naturally handles small samples, multiple pathways, and uncertainty propagation in a coherent statistical framework.	Multi-omics pathway enrichment analysis is a bioinformatics pipeline that integrates molecular data from two or more omics layers — such as transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics — and tests whether the combined signal from those layers converges on specific biological pathways more than expected by chance. By considering multiple molecular levels simultaneously, it identifies pathway-level dysregulation that single-omics analyses would miss.
