(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In genetics, sequencing means to determine the nucleotides of a DNA strand. Methods to do this are :
This resulting symbolic linear depiction known as a sequence can succinctly summarize much of the atomic-level structure of the sequenced molecule.
Though polysaccharides are biopolymers, it is not so common to talk of sequencing a polysaccharide, because a symbolic linear depiction cannot capture their tendency to branch and to bond to one other in different ways.
