Multiple Sequence Alignments are essential tools for many tasks performed in molecular biology. This paper proposes an efficient, scalable and effective multi-objective evolutionary algorithm to optimize pre-aligned sequences. This algorithm benefits from the great diversity of state-of-the-art algorithms and produces alignments that do not depend on specific sequence features. The proposed method is validated with a database of refined multiple sequence alignments and uses four standard metrics to compare the quality of the results.
