the Confusion of my Progressive Cactus results #1102

Hi, I tried to perform whole-genome alignment on genomes containing various sequencing technologies and different assembly qualities. There were no error messages during the software running process, but when I converted the result files to maf format, I found that the vast majority of sequences did not align. I would like to ask what is the reason for this result?

Here is my log file. nohup.txt

Progressive Cactus works best for vertebrates and insects, and even then very distant species may not align well.
