I have phylogenetic trees obtained using MEGA software that were constructed with the DNA sequences of different genes (tree 1 with gene A; tree 2 gene B). The trees are not as identical as I expected. How can I compare the position of each strain in each tree? Is there any software? Any of them runs MEGA files?

The way i do is scale all the nodes from root to leaves on 0 to 1 scale. Putting root node at 0 and measuring distance from the root to all the leaves. That way i can assign values to nodes, e.g. nodal distance from the root node.
you can also look into this MacClade for tree comparisons...
