Összefoglaló	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.	Cluster analysis is a family of unsupervised multivariate techniques that partition a set of objects or observations into internally homogeneous, mutually distinct groups — clusters — based on measured characteristics, without any prior knowledge of group membership. It is widely used in market segmentation, bioinformatics, psychology, and social science to reveal natural groupings in data.
