yggdrasill

We have hosted the application yggdrasill in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about yggdrasill:

Yggdrasill is a 3D phylogenetic tree visualization software based on the Unity 5 engine. Intended for educational and scientific purposes this demonstration release allows to display and explore evolutionary relationships between different terrestrial vertebrate species.

Currently available features include procedural tree generation of evolutionary data provided by the Tree of Life (ToL) Web Project (http: //tolweb.org/tree/), full three dimensional camera controls as well as a web search, an extinct species overlay and more.

Later updates will include the full ToL dataset, improve tree generation and overall accessability, as well as adding access to other datasets.

Special thanks go to the Tree of Life Web Project and all its contributors for providing the data and to Unity Technologies for free access to Unity 5.
