  1. Is the translation of "in a test tube using specially sequenced DNA" : "in una provetta per analisi usando DNA con una speciale sequenza" or "in una provetta per analisi usando DNA appositamente sequenziato"? I believe that the right one is the first, but sequenced is a past participle non a noune,I don't understand, could you help me?
    Thanks.
