You can use `slicer.util.loadNodeFromFile`. For example:

```
sequenceNode = slicer.util.loadNodeFromFile("c:/tmp/something.seq.nrrd", "SequenceFile")

```

I’ve [added a `slicer.uitil.loadSequence` convenience function](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/commit/752f5f9161cf27c830303f26b4bd74feb72669ba) to make this easier to figure out.
