-<p>In this case, the components are generated by an eigenvector
-decomposition of the matrix formed from the sum of BLOSUM scores at each
-aligned position between each pair of sequences. The matrix is not
-symmetric - elements in the upper diagonal give the sum of scores for
-mutating in one direction, and the lower diagonal is the sum of scores
-for mutating in the other. This is a refinement of the method described

+ scores between each pair of sequences. The similarity score model is
+ selected on the <a href="calculations.html">calculations dialog</a>, and
+ may use one of the available score matrices, such as
+ <a href="scorematrices.html#blosum62">BLOSUM62</a>,
+ <a href="scorematrices.html#pam250">PAM250</a>, or the <a

+ or sequence feature similarity.

+ </p>
+ <p>This is an interactive display of the sequences positioned
+ within the similarity space, as points in a rotateable 3D
+ scatterplot. The colour of each sequence point is the same as the
+ sequence group colours, white if no colour has been defined for the
+ sequence, and green if the sequence is part of a the currently
+ selected group.</p>
+ <p>
+ The 3d view can be rotated by dragging the mouse with the <strong>left
+ mouse button</strong> pressed. The view can also be zoomed in and out with
+ the up and down <strong>arrow keys</strong> (and the roll bar of the
+ mouse if present). Labels will be shown for each sequence if the
+ entry in the View menu is checked, and the plot background colour
+ changed from the View→Background Colour.. dialog box. The File
+ menu allows the view to be saved (<strong>File→Save</strong>
+ submenu) as an EPS or PNG image or printed, and the original
+ alignment data and matrix resulting from its PCA analysis to be
+ retrieved. The coordinates for the whole PCA space, or just the
+ current view may also be exported as CSV files for visualization in
+ another program or further analysis.
