Encyclopedia: Sequence

In mathematics, a sequence is an ordered list of objects (or events). Like a set, it contains members (also called elements or terms), and the number of terms (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence. Unlike a set, order matters, and the exact same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in the sequence.

Representative sequences

Sequence clusters can reduce a large database of sequences to a smaller set of "sequence representatives", each of which should "represent" its cluster at the sequence level. Sequence representatives allow the effective coverage of the original database with fewer sequences. The database of...

Bit-sequence independence

In telecommunication, bit-sequence independence is a characteristic of some digital data transmission systems that impose no restrictions on, or modification of, the transmitted bit sequence. Bit-sequence-independent protocols are in contrast to protocols that reserve certain bit sequences for...

Sequence clustering

In bioinformatics, sequence clustering algorithms attempt to group sequences that are somehow related. The sequences can be either of genomic, "transcriptomic" (ESTs) or protein origin. For proteins, homologous sequences are typically grouped into families. For EST data, clustering is important to...
