Clustal X sequence name conflicting problem

Question

[thaonguyen8310]

I have 8 sequences to make a multiple alignment. However, when I loaded the sequence of Bos taurus, clustal X informed that there a sequence name conflicting between bos taurus and homo sapien. I tried to change the name of both to make them different but clustal still informed name conflicting >.<. Can anybody help me to fix this?

Programs like clustal were written a long time ago when 8.3 filenames (name.extension) were prevalent. Try to rename your sequences so that the first 8 (or 10) characters are unique. If possible shorten the names so that they are 10 characters or less.
