Answer / jomy peter thomas
just do blastn and count the number of sequences showing
more than equal to 30% similarity with the known sequences
in the databases.this wud give u th no. of homologous sequences.

Answer / guest
use a BLASTX search against a known protein database - such
MCBI's NR database. I would then sort them to determine how
many were unique.
