A new procedure is developed which enables one to start from the quark and lepton mass and mixing data at the low scale and construct mass matrices which exhibit simple SO(10) structure at the SUSY GUT scale. This approach is applied to the present data involving quark and charged lepton masses, the CKM mixing matrix and the MSW solar neutrino and atmospheric neutrino depletion effects. In terms of just 12 model parameters suggested by the procedure for the 5 mass matrices, we can reproduce 15 masses and 8 mixing parameters remarkably consistent with the input starting values.
