תקציר	Multi-omics microbiome diversity analysis integrates two or more omic data layers — such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, and metaproteomics — to characterise both the composition and functional activity of microbial communities. By linking taxonomic diversity metrics with molecular phenotype data, the approach uncovers how community structure translates into ecological and host-relevant functions that no single omic layer can reveal alone.	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.
