I must heartily recommend a package called RESOLVE for PC, available from Prof.
Eric Harley, UCT Medical School, PO Observatory 7925, South Africa (or, more
obviously for this forum, harley at chempath.uct.ac.za or @uctvax.uct.ac.za).
This assists in mapping in that it tells you when the (or a) map is obtainable
from the data; it also tells you how MANY maps can be made from the same data
given different errors in measurement of band size! It can be used as a map
database, and even to compare any number of maps in terms of phylogenetically
informative sites, or proportion of sites shared. Costs US$100 from him
direct (I have no interest, I just like the package).
