• Trees with millions of tips may require a page of paper larger than the observable universe to be printed: they break the paper paradigm, but on screen, users can still easily zoom in through the tree to any point of interest (see Figure 2, which used data from [9]). In order to place the phylogenetic data on a scalable two-dimensional map, OneZoom uses concepts inspired by fractal geometry.\n We most look forward to seeing OneZoom bring to life the remarkable and powerful phylogenetic datasets that many evolutionary biologists have strived to collect over recent years.
