Biological Glossary | What is Consensus Sequence?

In molecular biology and bioinformatics, a consensus sequence is a sequence of DNA, RNA, or protein that represents the most common or typical sequence found in a specific location within a population. It is determined by comparing many different sequences from the same population and identifying the most frequently occurring residue at each position. This sequence is important as it often represents functional regions in genes or proteins.
