Hi again Brianna, The alignment is complete, and the error you observed occurs because the alignment viewer is not really engineered to display alignments of such large sequences. It is certainly possible to allocate more memory to java to get past the error you encountered by changing the -Xmx argument in the script that launches Mauve, but I wouldn't be surprised if you encounter other issues. Even if you can't browse the alignment in the Mauve viewer, the alignment can be used for any other purposes you have in mind.
