A DNA sequence is a succession of letters representing the primary structure of a real or hypothetical DNA molecule or strand. The possible letters are A, C, G, and T, representing the four nucleotide subunits of a DNA strand, and typically these are printed abutting one another without gaps, as in the sequence AAAGTCTGAC. A succession of any number of nucleotides greater than four is liable to be called a sequence. A sequence may be sense or anti-sense (more at DNA).Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "DNA sequence."

Most living things store information within their cells in the form of DNA, RNA or with a similar molecule.Humans store their information principally as DNA in the nucleus of the cell. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomal (non-sex) chromosomes, plus either two X chromosomes (for women) or an X chromosome and a Y chromosome for men which determine the sex. Other arrangements of chromosomes occur but these are generally related to disease states. Within these chromosomes are long sections of DNA and this DNA holds most of the genetic information held by the cell. DNA has a double helix structure and the coding regions of the molecule are formed of four nucleotides bound to the DNA. These are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). A always pairs with T and C with G, and so these are known as base pairs. Although other nucleotides exist in RNA and in non-human species their purpose is much the same.
The base pairs running along the DNA structure from a three letter code which holds information required to make RNA which in turn controls cell function, development, gene expression and protein production. The section of DNA which codes for a base pair sequence which produces RNA for a particular purpose is a gene.
Genes are vital to the understanding of the many diseases and disease states (for example cystic fibrosis, dwarfism, mental illness, birth defects and more minor problems such as colour blindness) which they are responsible for.
It is therefore of great interest to know what genes we have, how many there are and where they are.
At the start it was mentioned that many lifeforms use DNA and RNA. They too have genes and studying these genes can tell scientists many things, which allows advances in other fields such as evolutionary biology, crop science, veterinary science, and pharmacology.
Modern techniques enable genes to be sequenced, i.e. their position and size determined. Recent projects such as the Human Genome Project have lead to widely publicised understanding of approximately what genes humans have and where they are. Other, less well known studies have elucidated the structure of the genome of other organisms such as fruit flies (widely used in other genetic research), and nematode worms.
At a basic level, genes can be sequenced in a number of ways. The most basic is to chop the DNA in a chromosome with restriction enzymes and then attach them to markers. Segments of DNA can be attached to marker molecules because of the specificity of the base pairs for each other. These fragments can be duplicated if necessary by PCR (the Polymerase Chain Reaction) and base pairs in each sequence determined. Large computers are then used to tag all the fragments together. This approach tells you what the code is, but does not decipher it i.e. it does not tell you what the code produces or what the purpose of the product is.
Some companies have been allowed to patent genes, thereby restricting research on them. One example has been the patenting of the breast cancer genes BCRA1 and 2. This is a highly contentious point in research and many academic groups have sought to publish gene sequences so that they cannot be patented.
Determining what any given sequence does is much harder. Information can be found from patients who have defects in a gene (for example, a large proportion of people with spontaneous dwarfism have a mutation in the gene which produces a growth factor) or from animals such as transgenic mice or gene knockout mice or fruitflies. The search is further complicated by the fact that only sections of a gene actually code for RNA. The rest seems to have a regulatory function, but is not well understood.

In biochemistry, to specify the primary structure of an unbranched biopolymer, such as a molecule of DNA, RNA or protein, is to name the species of every subunit (nucleotide or amino acid) in order from the beginning to the end of the molecule. The primary structure, in other words, refers to a biopolymer's exact chemical composition and to the sequence in which its subunits are arranged.While the primary structure of a biological polymer to a large extent determines the three-dimensional shape that the molecule assumes in vivo, knowing it often doesn't help a person to deduce this shape (known as the tertiary structure) or to predict localized structuring, such as the formation of loops or helices (called secondary structure). At the atomic level, very few types of dihedral angles are specified by the primary structure. Nor are many non-bonded interatomic contacts specified.
However, the nature of nearly all of the covalent bonds and of many of the bond angles are implied at the level of primary structure based on the structural invariants inherent in the monomers involved, and therefore the primary structure is rich with information.

This is a page about mathematics. For other usages of "sequence", see: sequence (non-mathematical).
In mathematics, a sequence is a list of objects (or events) which have been ordered in a numerical (and sequential) fashion; such that each member either comes before, or after, every other member. A sequence is a function with a domain equal to the set of positive integers.
The sequence of positive integers is: 1, 2, 3, ..., n - 1, n, n + 1, ... Each number is a term, with n being the "n-th term". A sequence can be denoted by: {an }; such that, in the above list of positive integers, a1 is 1, a317 is 317, and an is n -- this is also indicated by: a0, a1, a2, ..., an, ... The terms of a sequence, are part of a set, commonly indicated by S; they are a "sequence in S".
A sequence may have a finite or infinite number of terms; thus, it is called either finite or infinite. Obviously, it is impossible to give all the terms of an infinite sequence. Infinite sequences are given by listing the first few terms, followed by an ellipsis.
Formally, a sequence can be defined as a function from N (the set of natural numbers) into some set S.
If S is the set of integers, then the sequence is an integer sequence.
If S is endowed with a topology then it is possible to talk about convergence of the sequence. This is discussed in detail in the article about limits.
For a given sequence the corresponding sequence of partial sums is called an infinite series.
E.g.: 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + ... is a convergent series, meaning that the sequence 1, 1 + 1/2, 1 + 1/2 + 1/4, ... is convergent.
A subsequence is a sequence with some of its members omitted.

For the mathematical definition, see: sequence.In biochemistry, a biopolymer's sequence is synonymous with its primary structure: the list of basic building blocks constituting the polymer. Determining such a sequence is called sequencing.
In mediæval Latin literature, a sequence (Latin sequentia) is a poem written in a non-classical metre that uses rhyme and an accentual (stress based) rather than quantititive (vowel length based) verse form.
See, for example: Pange Lingua; Dies Iræ
In music, a sequence is a passage which is successively repeated at different pitches.
In dance, a sequence is a predefined series of movements.

In genetics, sequencing means to determine the nucleotides of a DNA strand. Methods to do this are :
In biochemistry, sequencing means more generally the determination of the primary sequence of any linear heterobiopolymer. This includes nucleotide sequencing (for DNA or RNA) as well as protein sequencing (using Edman degradation, mass spectrometry, protease digests).
- chromosome walking
- shotgun sequencing
- Chain termination method
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.

 | Six-step sequence of the death of a cancer cell. A cancer cell has migrated through the holes of a matrix coated membrane from the top to the bottom, simulating natural migration of a invading cancer cell between, and sometimes through, the vascular endothelium. Notice the spikes or pseudopodia that are characteristic of an invading cancer cell (1). A buffy coat containing red blood cells, lymphocytes and macrophages is added to the bottom of the membrane. A group of macrophages identify the cancer cell as foreign matter and start to stick to the cancer cell, which still has its spikes (2). Macrophages begin to fuse with, and inject its toxins into, the cancer cell. The cell starts rounding up and loses its spikes (3). As the macrophage cell becomes smooth (4). The cancer cell appears lumpy in the last stage before it dies. These lumps are actually the macrophages fused within the cancer cell (5). The cancer cell then loses its morphology, shrinks up and dies (6). Photo magnification: 1: x12,000; 2: x4,000; 3: x8,000; 4: x26,000; 5: x56,000; 6: x14,000.

Single strands of DNA are transferred onto a nitrocellulose filter, exposed to a radioactive labelled probe, which then sticks, or hybridizes, to a specific DNA sequence. These hybridized sequences will then give off a radioactive signal that can be visualized by exposing the filter to x-ray film, a procedure known as autoradiography.
