Thanks Natasha. The format is MAF. There is a software call MAFfilter who can handle these type of files but I was wondering whether there was something else out there.
Hello,
Is there any MAF multiple alignment file viewer? I have aligned 100 large genomes for synteny, I got the MAF output. Please can you suggest the best way to process this large file to get to very specific genomic regions I want to compare.
Regards,
A

Dear any,
I think there are a lot of different tools.
What format does your final file have?
There are some examples below:
java script multiple sequence alignment viewer

I've used simple fasta-file alignments.

see Materials and Methods and Figure 4 or some other figures as an example.
"Multiple alignments of protein and DNA sequences were constructed using
Muscle 3.6 (http://www.drive5.com/muscle/) [47] and visualized and manually edited using
GeneDoc Editor version 2.6.002 (http://www.nrbsc.org/gfx/genedoc/; Nicholas, Karl B and Nicholas, Hugh B. Jr. 1997,
