概要	Machine learning-assisted eQTL analysis integrates supervised learning models — ranging from elastic-net regression to deep neural networks — into the classical eQTL framework to predict and map genetic variants that regulate gene expression. By training predictive models on reference panels (e.g., GTEx), the approach enables imputation of gene expression in cohorts lacking RNA data, substantially increasing statistical power and enabling trans-tissue generalisation.	RNA-seq differential expression (DE) analysis identifies genes whose transcript abundance differs significantly between two or more biological conditions — for example, treated versus control, or diseased versus healthy tissue. Starting from raw sequencing reads, the pipeline moves through alignment, count-based normalization, statistical modeling of count dispersion, hypothesis testing, and multiple-testing correction to produce a ranked list of differentially expressed genes accompanied by fold-change estimates and adjusted p-values.
