Hi @Grace0114 ,

The snippet from your VCF doesn't tell me much, I need some actual lines from it to be able to diagnose the problem. Could you attach a few hundred genotype lines here?

Hi Edgardo
Thanks very much. I have solved this error by this method that I load the right zip file including vcf2phylip.py on the web github.com. Finally, I got merge.min4.phy.
Have a good day.
