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.
