Sequencing
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Genetics/bu8wne0A">genetics</a> and <a href="/facts/Biochemistry/fa2pWEBp">biochemistry</a>, sequencing means to determine the <a href="/facts/Primary_structure/VaN6MEYh">primary structure</a> (sometimes incorrectly called the primary sequence) of an unbranched <a href="/facts/Biopolymer/GaCwr4EY">biopolymer</a>. Sequencing results in a symbolic linear depiction known as a sequence which succinctly summarizes much of the atomic-level structure of the sequenced molecule. </p>
