概要	Bayesian variant calling is a computational pipeline that uses probabilistic inference to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, and deletions in a genome by treating sequencing data as evidence and computing posterior probabilities over candidate genotypes. Unlike deterministic threshold-based callers, Bayesian approaches explicitly model sequencing error, mapping uncertainty, and prior genotype frequencies to produce calibrated genotype likelihoods that can be used for downstream filtering and association testing.	Bayesian GWAS applies Bayesian statistical inference to genome-wide association studies, replacing classical p-value thresholds with Bayes factors and posterior probabilities. This framework naturally incorporates prior knowledge about effect sizes and variant frequencies, quantifies evidence for association on a continuous scale, and supports principled fine-mapping of causal variants within associated loci. It is widely used in complex trait genetics, population genomics, and translational research where uncertainty quantification and multi-variant modeling matter.
