요약	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.	Pathway enrichment analysis (PEA) is a statistical approach that takes a list of genes or proteins of interest — typically derived from a differential expression or proteomics experiment — and identifies which pre-defined biological pathways or functional gene sets are represented more often than expected by chance. By mapping individual molecular changes onto curated pathway knowledge bases such as KEGG, Gene Ontology, or Reactome, PEA translates long gene lists into interpretable biological processes, making it a central tool in the post-analysis of high-throughput omics experiments.
