Hi Norhan, if your goal is to do a progressiveMauve alignment on the command-line, your best bet will be a command like this:
./progressiveMauve --output=fifty_isolates.alignment Autumn2013_ALT_17.gbk Spring2012_ALT_27.gbk there's no need to use mauveAligner to make an identity matrix for progressiveMauve, it will calculate that on its own. But if you want to try it anyway, you'll need to move the --id-matrix parameter earlier in the command. The sequences & SMLs need to come at the end of the mauveAligner command.
