sekvenserat

Sekvenserat is a Swedish term used as an adjective to describe material, data, or processes that have been arranged, determined, or produced in a sequence. The noun form sekvensering refers to the process of determining the order of elements in a sequence, most commonly nucleotides in DNA or RNA.

In genetics and molecular biology, sekvenserat DNA or RNA denotes sequences whose base order has been established by sequencing technologies. Modern sequencing methods, including next-generation sequencing (NGS) and third-generation platforms, generate large datasets that require bioinformatic analysis, such as quality control, alignment to reference genomes, assembly, and variant calling. Sekvenserade data are typically stored in standardized formats (for example FASTQ for raw reads and FASTA/VCF for processed data) and are used to study genetics, evolution, and disease.

In other contexts, sekvensering can refer to the ordering of events or items in time, such as experimental steps or data logs.

In music and digital art, "sekvenserat" can describe patterns or pieces produced with a step sequencer or other sequencing-based devices, where notes or control signals are triggered in a fixed or programmable order.

History and usage notes: The term is a direct calque from English sequencing, common in Swedish scientific literature since the late 20th century. Grammatically it functions as an adjective or past participle; "sekvenserad" is also common, depending on dialect or preference.
