In the field of bioinformatics, a sequence database is a large collection of computerized ("digital") nucleic acid sequences, protein sequences, or other sequences stored on a computer. A database can include sequences from only one organism (e.g., a database for all proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae), or it can include sequences from all organisms whose DNA has been sequenced.

Famous quotes containing the word sequence:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
