Tree of Life branches out online

from the page
Exploring the evolutionary tree of life is now as easy as navigating an online map, thanks to a new interactive website.

October 16th 2012: The OneZoom manuscript is published in PLoS Biology, the first in the journal’s new “Cool Tools” series. The OneZoom website, videos and software all go live.

Joel Cracraft on OneZoom: “This will revolutionize how we teach and understand the Tree of Life. It is an invaluable tool for communicating the grand scope of life’s history.”

David Hillis on OneZoom: “The problem of visualizing an evolutionary tree for millions of species is a challenging one. OneZoom provides a creative solution that will be of great utility, especially for web-based representations of the Tree of Life.”
