title: Localization of the Q1 mutation by cladistic analysis.
abstract: The completion of the human genome project appears to be in sight and enormous new information resources will be available. The challenge now facing the scientific community is to use this information. In this paper, we applied cladistic analysis to the sequenced data in a Genetic Analysis Workshop 12 simulation problem. The Q1 mutation was localized to a 5-kb segment, in which the true mutation is located. Our analysis shows that cladistic analysis, which summarizes evolutionary history, can be a powerful tool in gene mapping.
