Підсумок	Time-series pathway enrichment analysis identifies biological pathways whose coordinated gene activity changes significantly across ordered time points. Rather than treating each time point independently, the method models the temporal trajectory of gene expression within each pathway and tests whether entire biological programs — not just individual genes — are activated or suppressed in a time-dependent manner. It is widely used in developmental biology, drug response studies, and infection time courses.	Time-series RNA-seq differential expression analysis identifies genes whose expression levels change systematically across ordered time points — such as during development, disease progression, or response to a treatment. Unlike two-condition DE analysis, it explicitly models the temporal structure of the data, capturing dynamic gene expression trajectories rather than a single snapshot contrast. Tools such as maSigPro, ImpulseDE2, and splineTimeR have been developed specifically for this design.
