Beyond clustering, NTSYS pc excels at PCA. In molecular studies, this helps researchers reduce the complexity of data. Instead of looking at 100 different marker loci, PCA reduces them into 2 or 3 principal components. This allows for a 2D or 3D scatter plot, showing how distinct populations are from one another. If a researcher wants to prove that Population A is genetically distinct from Population B, a PCA plot generated in NTSYS is often the "smoking gun" evidence. Free Download NTSYS Pc For Molec
