Sekvenci

Sekvenci is a term used in several languages to denote an ordered sequence or progression of elements. In general usage, it refers to any line-up where each item follows another in a fixed order, from simple lists to more complex patterns.

In mathematics, a sequence is an ordered list of elements indexed by natural numbers. Sequences can be finite or infinite; key concepts include convergence, limits, and monotonicity. In computer science, sequences appear as strings, arrays, or lists, and operations such as concatenation, comparison, and subsequencing are common. A subsequence preserves the original order but may skip elements, while a contiguous subsequence is a substring or subarray.

In biology, a genetic sequence refers to the linear arrangement of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes information. DNA sequencing determines the order of nucleotides; technologies such as next-generation sequencing have enabled large-scale genomics. Sequence analysis includes alignment, assembly, and annotation to infer function and evolutionary relationships.

In music, a sequence is the repetition of a motif at different pitches, or a pattern repeated across scales. In linguistics and speech science, sequences of sounds or symbols are studied for phonotactics, morphology, and syntax, often with attention to frequency and distribution.

The term derives from Latin sequentia, meaning "that which follows," and is a cognate of the English word sequence. In many languages, sekvenci serves as the direct or close equivalent, used across disciplines with domain-specific meaning.
