When a set of organisms is classified by more than one system, the question arises as to how the classification systems relate to each other. This is what the partition mapping tool is designed for in BioNumerics: to compare the outcome of two classification systems and to predict the classification of one technique based upon the results from another technique. In this tutorial some of the features of this partition mapping tool are illustrated using a sample data set.
