Let me explain what I meant with "tree alignment":
Given a phylogenetic tree, you may calculate a multiple alignment.
But I need the ancestral sequences be calculated as well, i.e.
the inner nodes of the phylogenetic tree must be labeled as well :
root ALWVG <----------------------------
/ \
AL-LL <- LLWVG <-
/ \ / \
AL-LL GL--L LLWVG LL-VG
Now the corresponding __tree alignment__ is
ALWVG (*) <-----------------------------------------------
AL-LL (*) <-
LLWVG (*) <-
AL-LL
GL--L
LLWVG
LL-VG
where "<-" indicates reconstructed sequences. (artificial example)
