Hi Daniele,

Clustalw doesnt have a provision for preserving reading frame on 
nucleotide alignments, so what we do is
use an 'align on codons' procedure where we do a multiple alignment on the 
protein translations, then
back translate that alignment in to the original nucleotide sequences.


The freely downloadable windows-based program 'MEGA3' will do this for 
you.

Regards,

g.
