概要	Machine learning-assisted pathway enrichment analysis integrates classical statistical pathway enrichment methods — such as over-representation analysis or gene set enrichment analysis — with machine learning algorithms to improve sensitivity, handle high-dimensional omics data, and uncover non-linear biological patterns. The approach moves beyond ranking pathways by p-value alone, using ML models to weight gene contributions, distinguish signal from noise across many samples, and prioritize biologically meaningful pathways in complex datasets.	Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a computational method that determines whether a predefined set of genes — representing a biological pathway, process, or function — shows statistically significant, coordinated differences between two biological conditions. Unlike simple fold-change filtering, GSEA operates on all measured genes ranked by a correlation metric, detecting subtle but consistent shifts across an entire pathway even when no single gene passes a significance threshold.
