Hi Andreas, Thanks for the advice. ReadSeq should be fine, even though according to its README file it does not parse PHYLIP format. I will check it within the next days and hopefully by the end of this week there will be a new release. I believe we can even proceed without readseq2/ReadSeq, using ALTER directly. I'll let you know.
Best Regards, Diego.
