There are many ways to build phylogenies from Mauve alignments and hopefully others on the list will chime in with suggestions. Once you have an initial tree, you might consider ClonalFrameML as a way to help reduce the impact of historical recombination events on tree inference: https://github.com/xavierdidelot/clonalframeml/wiki Best, -Aaron -- Aaron E.
