Jalview - now treats gaps in the same way as SeqSpace (ie it scores - them as 0).

- Calculations -

- Fixed incorrect value in BLOSUM 62 score - matrix - C->R should be '-3'
Old matrix restored - with this one-line groovy script:
jalview.analysis.scoremodels.ScoreModels.instance.BLOSUM62.@matrix[4][1]=3 -
Fixed - Jalview's treatment of gaps in PCA and substitution matrix - based Tree calculations.

In earlier versions - of Jalview, gaps matching gaps were penalised, and gaps - matching non-gaps penalised even more. In the PCA - calculation, gaps were actually treated as non-gaps - so - different costs were applied, which meant Jalview's PCAs - were different to those produced by SeqSpace.
Jalview - now treats gaps in the same way as SeqSpace (ie it scores - them as 0).

Enter the following in the - Groovy console to restore pre-2.10.2 behaviour:
- jalview.analysis.scoremodels.ScoreMatrix.scoreGapAsAny=true - // for 2.10.1 mode
- jalview.analysis.scoremodels.ScoreMatrix.scoreGapAsAny=false - // to restore 2.10.2 mode

Note: - these settings will affect all subsequent tree and PCA - calculations (not recommended)

- Fixed off-by-one bug that affected - scaling of branch lengths for trees computed using - Sequence Feature Similarity. -

- PCA calculation could hang when - generating output report when working with highly - redundant alignments -

- Sort by features includes features to - right of selected region when gaps present on right-hand - boundary -
