Translation guide
The English word 'sequencing' refers to putting things in order or determining the order of steps, events, or components. This guide covers how to express this concept naturally in Japanese, from everyday ordering to technical contexts.
Sequencing of tasks is important.
Literally 'rearranging', often used when sorting or reordering items. Implies changing an existing order.
Please sequence the cards in the correct order.
A common phrase meaning 'to line up in order'. More concrete and action-oriented than 順序付け.

In scientific or technical contexts, to determine the sequence of components, such as genes or amino acids.
Standard term for 'sequencing' in biology, especially DNA sequencing. Literally 'sequence determination'.
DNA sequencing technology is advancing rapidly.
Loanword from English, commonly used in technical fields. Often combined with other terms like ゲノムシーケンシング.
To refer to the sequence or order in which events occur or steps are performed.
General word for 'order' or 'sequence'. Often used in phrases like 作業の順序 (work sequence).

順序 (じゅんじょ) is the abstract concept of order or sequence. 手順 (てじゅん) refers to a set of steps or procedure, often with a practical goal. 順番 (じゅんばん) is more about turn or the order in a queue. For 'sequencing' as an action, 順序付け is most precise.
English often uses '-ing' forms as nouns. In Japanese, simply using the verb stem or adding こと is not always natural. Use established nouns like 順序付け or 配列決定 instead of trying to force a gerund form.
Next-generation sequencing has significantly reduced costs.
