- For the sense of "sequencing" used in electronic music, see the music sequencer article.
In genetics and biochemistry, sequencing means to determine the primary structure (or primary sequence) of an unbranched biopolymer. Sequencing results in a symbolic linear depiction known as a sequence which succinctly summarizes much of the atomic-level structure of the sequenced molecule.
In genetics terminology, sequencing is most often restricted to determining the nucleotides of a DNA or RNA strand. Methods to perform DNA or RNA sequencing include:
Future methods:
Methods for performing protein sequencing
include:
Though polysaccharides are biopolymers, it is not so common to talk of
sequencing a polysaccharide, because a symbolic linear depiction cannot
capture their tendency to branch and to bond to one other
in different ways.
