+		<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 either with <a href="scorematrices.html#blosum62">BLOSUM62</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.<br />
+		Jalview allows two types of PCA calculation. The default <em><strong>Jalview
+				PCA Calculation</strong></em> mode (indicated when that option is ticked in the <strong><em>Change
+				Parameters</em></strong> menu) of the viewer performs 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 one 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
