*** Locus 1 ***
ns = 19 ls = 568046
Reading sequences, sequential format..
Reading seq # 5: Pf
Error in sequence data file: U at 33900 seq 5.
Make sure to separate the sequence from its name by 2 or more spaces.

I've checked that there's no U in the Pf sequence, but I don't know how to fix that instead!
Thanks in advance.

Hi there!

Not exactly sure about what issue you may be experiencing as you did not provide us with your input alignment file. Nevertheless, the error "Make sure to separate the sequence from its name by 2 or more spaces" hints that you do not have at least two spaces between your taxa names and the corresponding sequences. E.g.: you can find below an example of how an alignment would look like when using 3 spaces between taxa names and sequences:

```
sp1 ATCG...

sp2 ATCG...

...

```

If that is not the problem, please share your input alignment file so it is easier for us to troubleshoot :)
