תקציר	Differential ChIP-seq peak calling identifies genomic loci where a protein of interest — typically a transcription factor or histone mark — shows significantly altered binding or occupancy between two or more biological conditions. By combining standard ChIP-seq peak detection with count-based statistical testing, the method reveals condition-specific regulatory elements, providing a genome-wide map of dynamic chromatin interactions underlying cellular state changes.	Variant calling is the computational process of identifying positions in a sequenced genome that differ from a reference sequence — including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions and deletions (indels), and structural variants. It transforms aligned sequencing reads into an interpretable catalogue of genetic differences, forming the foundation for population genetics, disease-gene discovery, and clinical genomics applications.
