sequenziati

Sequenziati is the plural form of sequenziato, from the Italian verb sequenziare, meaning to determine the order of elements. In Italian, it is used as an adjective or noun to indicate that sequencing has been performed on a subject, sample, or data. The term is most common in genetics and genomics, where it refers to individuals, tissues, or genetic material for which DNA or RNA sequencing has been completed.

In genomic contexts, sequenziati may denote whole-genome, exome, or targeted sequencing. The resulting sequence data support analyses of genetic variation, diagnosis of heritable diseases, population genetics, and the creation of reference sequences. In clinical genetics, patients whose genomes or exomes are sequenced are described as sequenziati in reports or publications. The term also appears in non-clinical sequencing applications—metagenomics, transcriptomics, archaeogenetics—whenever sequencing data are generated for a sample.

Beyond biology, sequenziati can occur when describing processes that have been ordered or steps completed, though this usage is less common. Overall, sequenziati highlights the availability of sequence data for the subject and its suitability for downstream analysis.
