sekvencë

Sekvencí is the genitive plural form of the Czech noun sekvence, meaning "of sequences." It is a grammatical form used in Czech to refer to multiple sequences, typically as the object of a verb or a preposition. For example, phrases like počet sekvencí (the number of sequences) or analýza sekvencí (analysis of sequences) illustrate its common usage.

In contemporary Czech, sekvence is used across many disciplines that study ordered series or strings, such as biology, mathematics, and computer science. In biology, the term sekvence often appears in the context of DNA, RNA, or protein sequences, where the genitive plural sekvencí is used in phrases like analýza sekvencí DNA or sekvencí proteinů. The form sekvencí is not a concept by itself but a grammatical form used to express possession or relation to multiple sequences.

Because sekvencí is a case form rather than a field concept, discussions of sequencing processes are typically expressed with other terms, such as sekvenování or sekvenace, which denote the act or process of sequencing (for example, sekvenování genomu, genome sequencing). The noun sekvence remains the basic term for a sequence, with sekvence in the nominative plural and sekvencí in the genitive plural.

Etymology traces sekvence to Latin and French roots meaning a following or succeeding order. In Czech, sekvence and its inflected forms are standard for describing ordered lists of items, strings of letters, or biological sequences.
