Hi Michael,

Apologies for the delay in response.
The 'Mask CpG' tool currently supports pairwise alignments only, and it
skips all blocks containing a single species. This is the reason why your
masked output has fewer blocks compared to the input MAF file. We don't have
immediate plans to extend the tool to >2-way alignments. If we are to do
this, we'll let you know.

Thanks for using Galaxy, and please let us know if you have any other
questions.
Guru.
