\subsection{Association test}
The test consists in performing series of nested homogeneity tests
(\chisquare) comparing the number of cases and controls in the
different clades defined on the tree. A global p-value is calculated
different clades defined on the tree. The nested algorithm is detailed
on Figure~\ref{fig:nesting_algo} (figure from \citet{Bardel05},
slightly modified). A global p-value is calculated
for the tree by using a permutation procedure such as the one
described by \citet{Ge03} and \citet{Becker04}.

{\small (A) shows the homogeneity test performed at level k (between clades
$C_1$ and $C_2$). If it is not significant (B), a test will be
performed at the following level (k+1), between all the sub-clades
descending from clades $C_1$ and $C_2$, i.e between clades $C_{1.1}$,
$C_{1.2}$, $C_{2.1}$ and $C_{2.2}$ (3 degree of freedom). If it is
significant the analysis ends because an association is detected.
When the permutation procedure is used, all the tests are considered
as non significant and the p-values are evaluated \textit{a posteriori}.

\subsection{Localisation of the susceptibility loci}
To perform the localisation analysis, for each haplotype $h$, the user
must previously define a new character (called character $S$) whose

with $n_h$ being the number of individuals carrying the haplotype $h$.
\section{Computation time}
We measured the computation time on a Pentium III, 930 MHz, 512 Mo of
RAM. We used the Crohn data set: 363 individuals genotyped for 7 SNPs
defining 33 different haplotypes. The reconstructed phylogenetic tree
possessed 6 levels. On this data set, the association test runs in
about 24 hours (p-value evaluated by 100~000 permutations, the complexity
of the program being linear with respect to the number of
permutations). The localisation test runs in about 10 seconds
(2~000 equiparsimonious trees analysed, the complexity of the program
being linear with respect to the number of analysed trees).
In fact, for the association test, the computation time increases with
the number of permutation and with the number of levels in the tree
(the number of levels being tightly linked to the number of haplotypes
in the data sets, which depends on the number of SNPs and of the LD
between the SNPs). We tested the software for up to 1000 SNPs
corresponding to 417 haplotypes. In this case, the association test
runs in about 6 minutes (for one permutation only). Three to four
minutes should be added per supplementary permutation. With such a
data set, we can see that the evaluation of the p-values with the
permutation procedure (10~000 to 100~000 are required) is not
realistic on this kind of computer. However, the software can be used
to look for association without using the permutation procedure.
The localisation test runs very quickly and depends on the number of
equiparsimonious trees analysed. On the data set with 1000 SNPs, the
localisation test runs in 10 seconds for one tree.
