      Description

      Many Jalview users prefer MEGA for performing phylogenetic analysis, but employ Jalview for annotation and figure generation. Jalview should facilitate this workflow by supporting the various MEGA alignment file formats.

      A variety of mega files seem to be available.

      Simple flatfile is here (search for MEGA interleaved/sequential) :
      www.hiv.lanl.gov/content/sequence/HelpDocs/SEQsamples.html

      An example of a more sophisticated '.meg' file, which is probably the most useful format, is here:

      MEGA also provide a series of example datasets:
