Hi all,
I am new to the list, so forgive me if this a repetitive topic.
I would like to color the result of the PCA analysis but not by the
clusters selected with a tree, I would like to color selected points on the
PCA with specific colors.
Is that possible with Jalview?
Thanks a lot,
Fabian

Hello Fabian.

It is - but only just The graphical interface doesn't really have any controls for doing this within the program. Something that we hope to fix in a future release.
The simplest way is to prepare an annotations file that creates a group for each sequence in the alignment and assigns it a colour. The annotation file has a tab-delimited structure, and its format is described here: http://www.jalview.org/help/html/features/annotationsFormat.html
For example, to assign colours to three sequences 'FER1_MESCR', 'FER1_SPIOL', 'FER1_MAIZE':
JALVIEW_ANNOTATION
SEQUENCE_GROUP\tFER1_MESCR\t0\t0\t-1\tFER1_MESCR
SEQUENCE_GROUP\tFER1_SPIOL\t0\t0\t-1\tFER1_SPIOL
SEQUENCE_GROUP\tFER1_MAIZE\t0\t0\t-1\tFER1_MAIZE
PROPERTIES\tFER1_MESCR\tidColour=red
PROPERTIES\tFER1_MAIZE\tidColour=blue
PROPERTIES\tFER1_SPIOL\tidColour=green
Note - the '\t's need to be replaced with tab symbols!
Jim.
