Exploring the Entire Tree of Life

Tree simplified from NCBI taxonomy

~800,000 species

This 'large public' tree is a reduction of the whole NCBI taxonomy. It only shows species (no strains, environmental samples, unidentified species, etc.). It displays a descritption and picture retrieved from Wikipedia when clicking on the tips and nodes.

Complete NCBI taxonomy

~1.4 Million species

The NCBI taxonomic tree represents the relationships between all species/strains that have at least one sequence in the NCBI/Entrez database. It is curated and validated by expert taxonomists and is updated regularly.
