요약	Network-based single-cell RNA-seq analysis extends standard scRNA-seq workflows by constructing and interrogating molecular interaction networks — gene regulatory networks, co-expression networks, or cell-cell communication graphs — from single-cell transcriptomic data. Rather than treating each gene independently, this approach captures the coordinated activity of gene circuits and intercellular signalling pathways within and between cell populations, enabling a systems-level view of transcriptional regulation at single-cell resolution.	Single-cell eQTL analysis identifies genetic variants (eQTLs) that regulate gene expression in a cell-type-specific manner by jointly analysing single-cell RNA-seq profiles and donor genotype data. Unlike bulk eQTL methods, it resolves regulatory effects that are diluted or masked when cell types are mixed, enabling discovery of variants whose effects are confined to particular cell states or developmental stages.
