  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-09-30)
  
  Can prokka be used to annotate a set of protein sequences (so bulk protein annotation), or does it require an entire genome for the annotation?
  
  I've been looking through the documentation but haven't found a clear answer to this. I tested it, and the annotation of my protein sequences worked, but I wanted to check if the program expected a genome and that I can trust the output.
  
  Thanks!
