Підсумок	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.	RNA-seq differential expression (DE) analysis identifies genes whose transcript abundance differs significantly between two or more biological conditions — for example, treated versus control, or diseased versus healthy tissue. Starting from raw sequencing reads, the pipeline moves through alignment, count-based normalization, statistical modeling of count dispersion, hypothesis testing, and multiple-testing correction to produce a ranked list of differentially expressed genes accompanied by fold-change estimates and adjusted p-values.
