概要	Time-series single-cell RNA-seq analysis captures gene expression across multiple time points at single-cell resolution to reveal how cell populations emerge, transition, and diverge during dynamic biological processes such as development, differentiation, or disease progression. By combining pseudotime ordering, RNA velocity, and differential dynamics testing, researchers reconstruct the temporal trajectory of individual cells and identify the gene regulatory changes that drive biological transitions.	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.
