Visualise CD-HIT clusters?

I have recently clustered a set of proteins using CD-HIT and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice way to visualise the clusters (there are 61 clusters in total)?

Example of clusters from CD-HIT:

>Cluster 0

clustering data visualisation cd-hit

Visualize in what way? You could build multiple sequence alignments for each of these clusters.

I was thinking something along the lines of a heatmap that is binary, if that makes sense? The protein clusters are from 9 genomes, 5 from one strain, 4 from another. I was hoping to try and create something that demonstrates a proteins presence in one strain and absence in another. I wasn't sure if there was something out there that would already be capable of doing that. If not I could potentially pick some clusters for MSA and present that. I suppose theres always a simple table indicating presence or absence. Just thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas
