Where can I browse,search and download acomplete tree of life? You can’t. (Yet)

DATA AVAILABILITY Community norm to archive sequence data ~4% of all published phylogenetic trees

Year one goals1. Synthesize a complete draft tree of life from existing phylogenetic trees2. Publish this draft tree with: a. ability to add annotations and upload new data sets b. highlighted areas of conﬂict and links to source data c. utilities to download whole tree and subtrees

+ taxonomies of living and extinct species+ digital phylogenetic data: Assembling the Tree of Life (and other) projects recent high-proﬁle phylogenies ribosomal RNA trees for Bacteria and Archaea TreeBASE and Dryad trees Graph database holding thousands of input trees with millions of nodes

Dipsicales graphtaxonomy data (578 taxa) +Soltis et al APG III phylogeny (30 taxa)

Dipsicales graph Synthesized tree (favouring phylogenetic branches); contains all 578 taxa

Graph database holdingthousands of input trees with • ﬁlter / weight input trees millions of nodes • build synthetic trees • compare to alternate trees • input new data sets

AUTOMATIC UPDATING update trees with new sequence data detect and synthesize newly published trees

SMART GENERATION OF FIGURES FOR PUBLICATION • Semantic annotation layers • Collaborative editing EVOLUTION • Integrated submission of data and annotations to archives Weigmann et al. PNAS, 2011ig. 1. Combined molecular phylogenetic tree for Diptera. Partitioned ML analysis of combined taxon sets of tier 1 and tier 2 FLYTREE data samples (−lnL =

?• Increasing availability of digital data associated with phylogeny publications• Makingsynthetic tree open to community annotation and data submission• Simple access to search and download the tree of life

?• Open Science • project wiki: opentree.wikispaces.com • mailing list (opentreeoflife@googlegroups.com) • development board (trello.org/opentree)

• provide complete phylogenetic framework• link to biodiversity and systematics content

• provide complete phylogenetic framework • link to biodiversity and systematics content• API for downloading subtrees to analysis tools

• provide complete phylogenetic framework • link to biodiversity and systematics content• API for downloading subtrees to analysis tools• source / storage of underlying data

opentreeoﬂife.org• We’ve only just started (June 1)• Looking for input, feedback and participation: • join the mailing list • add publications to the Mendeley group • vote / comment on plans on the Trello boards • participate in virtual data curation sprint in August
