Hello ,Sagarnidam123! I happened to see your question here.Could you tell me which aligment tool did you choose to align such a lot of suqeuences ? I also have a large amont of sequences need to be aligned , I tried clustalw and clustal-omega, but it seems that the software can not handle so many suquences and comes to an termination .Thanks a lot!

I personally like http://itol.embl.de/, it can easily handle that data (has a 10.000 sequences limit) and it is very nice to view. Takes a bit of time to figure out how to get the colors going for great viewing, but that's totally worth it.

However, many more very good viewers were suggested on my question here, and for huge tree viewers here.
