摘要	Network-based RNA-seq differential expression analysis integrates conventional differential expression testing with gene interaction networks — such as protein-protein interaction graphs or weighted co-expression networks — to identify not just individual differentially expressed genes but coherent, biologically meaningful gene modules that change together between conditions. This approach substantially reduces false positives and surfaces pathway-level signals invisible to gene-by-gene testing.	Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis characterises gene expression at the resolution of individual cells, enabling discovery of cell types, states, and transitions that are invisible in bulk transcriptomics. Starting from raw sequencing reads, the workflow produces a cell-by-gene count matrix and proceeds through quality control, normalisation, dimensionality reduction, unsupervised clustering, cell-type annotation, and a range of downstream analyses such as trajectory inference and differential expression between cell populations.
