Rezumat	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.	Proteomics analysis is a systematic pipeline for identifying and quantifying proteins in biological samples using mass spectrometry. Starting from raw spectral data, the workflow searches protein sequence databases, estimates abundance across conditions, applies statistical tests for differential expression, and maps findings onto biological pathways. It complements transcriptomics by capturing post-translational regulation and actual protein abundance, and is central to biomarker discovery, drug-target identification, and systems biology.
