The Timetree of Life Web Resource
Sudhir Kumar (Biodesign Institute, Arizona State University) and Blair Hedges (Penn State) have released a new web-based tool for comparing the evolutionary divergence times between multiple organisms. The tool is called the Timetree of Life and it (along with the book published at the same time) is expected to become a top resource for evolutionary biologists, likening to that of the NCBI BLAST database for geneticists.
Among those whose comments on the project have been noted are James Watson, co-discoverer of the molecular structure of DNA. In the foreword to the web resource’s accompanying book Watson comments, “I look in wonder at The Timetree of Life, at the breadth of life that it covers, and the extraordinary data presented in it.”
For more information check out the Timetree of Life and Biodesign Institute websites.

Spot on with this write-up, I actually suppose this web site needs way more consideration. I’ll in all probability be once more to read way more, thanks for that info.
