Use clustalw to generate nexus format file

#NEXUS BEGIN DATA; dimensions ntax=55 nchar=534; format missing=? symbols=”ABCDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ” interleave datatype=DNA gap= -;

Change to as follows: #NEXUS BEGIN DATA; dimensions ntax=55 nchar=534; format datatype=dna interleave=yes gap=- missing=?;

then type mb -i *.nex
