title: TreeScan: a bioinformatic application to search for genotype/phenotype associations using haplotype trees.
abstract: CONCLUSIONS
  We present the software implementation of the tree scanning method to detect associations between genetic haplotypes and quantitative traits, utilizing the evolutionary history of the haplotypes, in samples of unrelated individuals.
