Ringkasan	Network-based EWAS extends conventional epigenome-wide association studies by overlaying differentially methylated positions or regions onto biological interaction networks — such as protein-protein interaction, co-expression, or gene regulatory networks — to identify functionally coherent epigenetic modules rather than isolated CpG hits. This integration increases statistical power for detecting weak signals and reveals coordinated epigenetic dysregulation across pathways.	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.
