sequence
Elements in order
A sequence is a set of things following one another in a particular order.
Events unfold in sequence; numbers form sequences by mathematical rules.
DNA sequences are ordered strings of nucleotides.
In film, a sequence is a series of related shots forming a narrative unit.
To sequence is to arrange in order or determine the order of: researchers sequenced the genome.
