Grid of Life
An interactive visualisation of the biological tree of life.
Each tile represents a group of organisms with a common ancestor. - Clicking on a tile expands it into tiles representing direct descendants. If there are too many other tiles, there might not be room to expand. - Clicking on an expanded tile collapses it back into one tile. - Double-clicking on a tile expands it to fill the whole view. Other tiles will be moved to the side.
