How can I interpret heat maps and Principale component analysis?
In the assignment I am doing we have two genotypes B and b. the assembly has two scaffolds and the aim is to test whether any part of the assembly is associated with B or b variants. And so we created heat maps and ran PCA on the genotypes. So we are suppose to analyse it and give summary statistics or a plot describing the patterns of differentiation.
Can any one please help me understand how to? I have never done it and am not familiar with it.

Some theory first:
ClustVis: a web tool for visualizing clustering of multivariate data using Principal Component Analysis and heatmap
http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/05/12/nar.gkv468.full
The authors write about interpretation of both.
and this one:

thank you so much for the links
For PCA reading this question (and the answers) in CV may help. Currently, is the top question by votes raking!.
