Import an alignment from another application

To import an alignment from another applicaton:

1. Do either of the following:
   
   
   • From the Welcome tab, click Open Project on the left. Then use the option Import alignment on the right.
     
     
   • Choose File > Import Alignment.

2. Navigate to the file you wish to open. A wide variety of formats are supported, including gapped FASTA (.fasta, .fas, .fap, etc.), Geneious alignment (.geneious), MEGA alignment file (.meg), MegAlign file (.meg), MSF file (.msf), Vector NTI alignment project file (.apr) formats.

3. Click Open.

*Note: If you attempt to open a file that is not an alignment file, MegAlign Pro will instead attempt to import any sequences from that file.

The following video (which launches, by design, at the 3:05 minute mark) demonstrates how to open existing MegAlign Pro and classic MegAlign projects.
