OneZoom: Tree of Life Explorer

"Modern computing has enabled large amounts of data to be captured and stored and has revolutionised many branches of science. These advances, however, lead to challenges, such as how to explore and visualise large data sets," states the beginning of the OneZoom timeline. "The OneZoom software allows you to explore the tree of life in a completely new way that is similar to viewing a geographical map. This is done using techniques from a branch of mathematics known as fractal geometry, which enable us to condense the entire tree of life into a single page. OneZoom is so named because all the information is on one page, all you have to do is zoom to reveal further details."

Abstract

"Modern computing has enabled large amounts of data to be captured and stored and has revolutionised many branches of science. These advances, however, lead to challenges, such as how to explore and visualise large data sets," states the beginning of the OneZoom timeline. "The OneZoom software allows you to explore the tree of life in a completely new way that is similar to viewing a geographical map. This is done using techniques from a branch of mathematics known as fractal geometry, which enable us to condense the entire tree of life into a single page. OneZoom is so named because all the information is on one page, all you have to do is zoom to reveal further details."
