Is it suitable to perform protein blast blast for consensus sequence generated by bioeditor by using forward and reverse strand of DNA after proper alignment..
The consensus sequence generated by a bioeditor is typically derived from aligning and merging multiple DNA sequences. Based on the input sequences, this consensus sequence represents the most likely nucleotide at each position. I would suggest doing nucleotide BLAST (blastn) first and then going for protein BLAST (blastp) depending on the outcomes, if appropriate. Nucleotide BLAST compares nucleotide sequences against a nucleotide database and can provide information about similar DNA sequences.
