สรุป	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.	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.
