Sekvencemi

Sekvencemi is the concept of ordering or determining the order of elements in a set, process, or system. In Albanian usage, the term describes both a sequence—the ordered list itself—and the act of arranging items in a specific order. The word derives from Latin sequentia through Romance languages and English, reflecting its broad cross-disciplinary reach.

In mathematics and computer science, a sekvencë is an ordered collection of elements that can be finite or infinite. Sequences preserve order and may include repeated elements, unlike sets. Examples include numerical sequences, index-based series, and sequences of instructions or operations. Many sequences have defined rules, such as arithmetic or geometric progressions, or are defined recursively.

In biology and genetics, sekvencimi refers to determining the order of nucleotides in DNA or RNA. Early methods include Sanger sequencing; contemporary approaches fall under next-generation sequencing and third-generation long-read techniques. These methods enable high-throughput reading of genomes, transcriptomes, and metagenomes, fueling research in medicine, agriculture, and evolutionary biology.

In music, sekvenca denotes a melodic or rhythmic device where a motif is repeated at different pitches or temporal levels, creating a sense of development and coherence within a piece.

In media production and narrative design, sequencing describes the planned arrangement of scenes, shots, or actions to convey a story or procedural progression. Across disciplines, sekvencemi underscores the role of order in analysis, communication, and creative practice.
