sequencing
Finding the arrangement
Sequencing is the act of arranging things in a particular order, or determining the order of elements in something.
In molecular biology, sequencing means identifying the precise order of nucleotides in DNA or RNA, or amino acids in a protein: The lab is sequencing the patient's genome.
In education, sequencing refers to teaching concepts in logical progression.
The word emphasizes that order matters—events, steps, or components must follow a specific arrangement.
