Muhtasari	Network-based gene set enrichment analysis (network GSEA) extends classical GSEA by incorporating biological interaction networks — such as protein-protein interaction (PPI) or co-expression graphs — into the enrichment test. Instead of treating each gene independently, the method propagates differential expression signals across network edges, allowing genes that are co-regulated or functionally connected to jointly support the significance of a gene set. The result is a biologically coherent enrichment score that accounts for pathway topology and gene-gene dependencies.	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.
