Hi Matthew,

I am writing in response to the bug report you recently submitted regarding the MEGA software. Thank you for the feedback. The alignment process failed with your data due to an "out of memory" error. This happened because MEGA is using a 32-bit version of MUSCLE which cannot allocate sufficient memory for the alignment. A workaround is to download and use a more current version of MUSCLE - it can be downloaded at https://drive5.com/muscle/. [^] Alternatively, you could use MAFFT which is suitable for larger alignments.

Best regards,
Glen Stecher

In the future we may upgrade to newer MUSCLE.
