Hi
I have a problem with the lengths of the sequences that use for multiple sequence alignment. Is there a range for the length differences? I mean let take length of sequence1 is 300 and sequence2 is 200 and sequence3 is 100. In naturally can it be happened? Or do they should vary with 0-50 range or some thing like that?

There is not limit for that.
The aligners will align the sequence and create a consensus sequence taking into consideration everything. You can include a sequence which is 2000 bases/aa long with a very short one
What I recommend you is to open the consensus file with a powerful program such as GeneDoc (for Windows) only because you can take a better control of the output, like getting partial consensus, etc

Brian Bushnell i cant read your answer here. I just got the message as you reply for this question. Can you update your answer.
Hmmm, I don't remember replying to this... I must have accidentally posted and then deleted it. But as Antonio said, there's no fundamental length limit to multiple sequence alignment; his answer is correct.
