摘要	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.	Time-series eQTL analysis identifies genetic variants (eQTLs) whose effect on gene expression changes over time or across developmental stages. By combining longitudinal RNA-seq data with individual genotypes, the method captures how the same SNP can activate, silence, or reshape gene regulation at different time points — revealing the temporal architecture of the genome's regulatory program in processes such as differentiation, disease progression, and environmental response.
