Hi Cristina,

sorry, I better had answered to the Mauve mailing list.

Indeed, you can perform the alignment with many drafts and as long as you
just want to extract the SNPs afterwards, it does not matter, if the
contigs are ordered or not. But just in case you will look for genome
rearrangements or if some SNPs are located in a coding region, I recommend
ordering the contigs before.

I also recommend ordering just one draft genome using the GUI and than
running the remaining reorderings at the command line in a loop. You can
just copy the corresponding command from the log window and adapt it.
