<title>Principal Component Analysis</title>

-<p><strong>Principal Component Analysis</strong></p>
-<p>This calculation creates a spatial representation of the
-similarities within a selected group, or all of the sequences in an
-alignment. After the calculation finishes, a 3D viewer displays the set
-of sequences as points in 'similarity space', and similar sequences tend
-to lie near each other in the space.</p>
-<p><em>Caveats</em><br/>The calculation is computationally expensive, and may fail
-for very large sets of sequences - usually because the JVM has run out
-of memory. A future release of Jalview will be able to avoid this by
-executing the calculation via a web service.</p>

+ A principal component analysis can be performed via the <a

-<p><strong>About PCA</strong></p>
-<p>Principal components analysis is a technique for examining the
-structure of complex data sets. The components are a set of dimensions
-formed from the measured values in the data set, and the principal
-component is the one with the greatest magnitude, or length. The sets of
-measurements that differ the most should lie at either end of this
-principal axis, and the other axes correspond to less extreme patterns
-of variation in the data set.</p>

- <em>Calculating PCAs for aligned sequences</em><br />Jalview can
- perform PCA analysis on both proteins and nucleotide sequence
- alignments. In both cases, components are generated by an eigenvector
- decomposition of the matrix formed from the sum of substitution matrix
- scores at each aligned position between each pair of sequences -
- computed with 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
- href="scorematrices.html#simplenucleotide">simple single
- nucleotide substitution matrix</a>. The options available for
- calculation are given in the
- <strong><em>Change Parameters</em></strong> menu.</p>
- <p>
- <em>PCA Calculation modes</em><br/>
- The default Jalview calculation mode
- (indicated when <em><strong>Jalview PCA Calculation</strong></em> is
- ticked in the <strong><em>Change Parameters</em></strong> menu) is to
- perform a PCA on a matrix where 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. For protein
- substitution models like BLOSUM62, this gives an asymmetric matrix,
- and a different PCA to a matrix produced with the method described in the
- paper by G. Casari, C. Sander and A. Valencia. Structural Biology
- volume 2, no. 2, February 1995 (<a
- href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=7749921">pubmed</a>)
- and implemented at the SeqSpace server at the EBI. This method
- preconditions the matrix by multiplying it with its transpose, and can be employed in the PCA viewer by unchecking the <strong><em>Jalview
- PCA Calculation</em></strong> option in the <strong><em>Change
- Parameters</em></strong> menu.

- <p><strong>The PCA Viewer</strong></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.<p>

+ <strong>Reproducing PCA calculations performed with older

+ implementation which treated Gaps and non-standard residues in the

+ by G. Casari, C. Sander and A. Valencia. Structural Biology volume
+ 2, no. 2, February 1995 (<a
+ href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=7749921">pubmed</a>)
+ and implemented at the SeqSpace server at the EBI. To reproduce
+ calculations performed with earlier Jalview releases it is necessary
+ to execute the following Groovy script:
+ <pre>
+ jalview.analysis.scoremodels.ScoreMatrix.scoreGapAsAny=true
+ jalview.analysis.scoremodels.ScoreModels.instance.BLOSUM62.@matrix[4][1]=3
+ </pre>
+ This script enables the legacy PCA mode where gaps were treated as
+ 'X', and to modify the BLOSUM62 matrix so it is asymmetric for
+ mutations between C to R (this was a typo in the original Jalview
+ BLOSUM62 matrix which was fixed in 2.10.2).
