Sažetak	Single-cell RNA-seq differential expression (scRNA-seq DE) analysis identifies genes whose expression levels differ significantly between defined groups of individual cells — such as cell types, disease states, or treatment conditions. Unlike bulk RNA-seq, which averages signals across millions of cells, scRNA-seq DE operates on the transcriptome of each individual cell, enabling fine-grained characterization of cell-population-specific gene regulation and heterogeneity within seemingly homogeneous tissue.	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.
