I think it depends on the context...
But I'd say that "base calling" is the method by which some software looks at the raw data from your instrument, probably some kind of fluorescence, and decides whether there is an A,C,G or T there.
SNP calling involves comparing this info to a reference sequence, and if there is a discrepancy, deciding if the quality is good enough to justify saying "your sample has a variation"

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
