The analysis of these possible connections is an unexplored field in Qurʾānic studies after works based on a traditional stemmatic approach by Theodor Nöldeke in 1860, Michael Cook in 2004 and Behnam Sadeghi in 2010. These previous attempts to understand the family trees of the witnesses were based on readings that Islamic sources attribute to early manuscripts, no longer extant, while the exploration of the manuscript tradition is a new research direction in Qurʾānic manuscript studies. In the last few years, the use of computer programs introduced the possibility of a "new stemmatic" based on a cladistics method in investigating the relationship between manuscripts.
