The FileNotOpened error message suggests that progressiveMauve wasn't able to read one of the files you've asked it to align. Can you confirm whether the file "seq1" exists and contains fasta sequence? If you meant to just align the *.fa files, then the correct command-line syntax for progressiveMauve would be to omit the seq1 seq2 etc. Some other notes: a seed weight of 11 might be a bit small for these genomes, probably it would be better to go with whatever progressiveMauve selects as a default at least for a first attempt. The --seed-family option will improve the ability to detect homology at higher sequence divergence, but comes at the cost of speed. I am not sure whether it will be worthwhile for the genomes you've got. Best, -Aaron -- Aaron E.
