<p>I find this tag is often being misused, at least according to it's excerpt, the original Meta thread and also the tag wiki.</p>
<p>Currently, <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/sequence-analysis" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;sequence-analysis&#39;" aria-label="show questions tagged &#39;sequence-analysis&#39;" rel="tag" aria-labelledby="tag-sequence-analysis-tooltip-container">sequence-analysis</a> reads:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>[Excerpt] Analysis of a DNA, RNA, or peptide sequence to understand its features, function, structure, or evolution.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>[Wiki] In bioinformatics, methodologies used include sequence alignment, searches against biological databases, and others.</p>
<p>The term &quot;sequence analysis&quot; also occurs in chemistry (identifying the order of monomers in a polymer) and marketing (analytical customer relationship management applications, such as NPTB models (Next Product to Buy).</p>

<p>See this thread for context on the creation of <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/sequence-analysis" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;sequence-analysis&#39;" aria-label="show questions tagged &#39;sequence-analysis&#39;" rel="tag" aria-labelledby="tag-sequence-analysis-tooltip-container">sequence-analysis</a> and differences from <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/sequential-analysis" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;sequential-analysis&#39;" aria-label="show questions tagged &#39;sequential-analysis&#39;" rel="tag" aria-labelledby="tag-sequential-analysis-tooltip-container">sequential-analysis</a> (another beast altogether): <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1348/add-tags-for-sequencing-sequence-analysis-or-traminer">Add tags for sequencing, sequence analysis or TraMineR?</a></p>
<p>What should we do to avoid the ambiguity? Create new tags? Re-tag things? Broaden the tag definition?</p>
