<li> <h4>Our vision</h4>
<p> . . . is
for convenient, computable, credible access to the "Tree of Life"
comprising expert knowledge of phylogeny: the species tree you want, in
ready-to-use form, when you want it.</p>
</li>
<li><h4>Approach</h4>
<p>We are building a system of loosely coupled
components (for name-reconciliation, tree discovery, pruning, grafting,
scaling, etc) that can be configured flexibly, and plugged into
existing tools or systems (e.g., <a target="_blank" href="http://youtu.be/fdMQOVdQ8eM">Mesquite-o-Tastic</a>).</p>
<blockquote>
An application is phylotastic to the extent that, in response to a user query <b>S</b>, it supplies expert phylogenetic knowledge of <b>S</b>, in a form useful for research, in a timely manner.
</blockquote>
<p> where <b>S</b> is a list of identifiers such as { "Mus musculus", "Homo sapiens", "Pan troglogytes" }. Try it at the <a href="http://phylo.cs.nmsu.edu:3000" target="_top">Phylotastic web portal</a> (create a list by uploading a doc containing names, scraping names from a web page, or sampling from a named taxon)!

<li><h4>Credits</h4>
<ul class="littleul">
<li>As of mid-2015, the Phylotastic project is funded by the National Science Foundation (#1458572 Collaborative Research: ABI Development: An open infrastructure to disseminate phylogenetic knowledge).</li>
<li>We thank the <a href="http://www.opentreeoflife.org">OpenTree</a> project for ongoing cooperation</li>
<li>We thank the intrepid <a href="http://www.evoio.org/wiki/PhylotasticParticipants">participants</a> in the <a href="http://www.evoio.org/wiki/Phylotastic">Phylotastic hackathon</a> of 2012. The hackathon was organized by the <a href="http://www.evoio.org/wiki/HIP#Leadership_Team">Leadership Team</a> and the PIs (Enrico Pontelli, Rutger Vos and Arlin Stoltzfus) of <a href="http://www.evoio.org/wiki/HIP">HIP</a> (Hackathons, Interoperability, Phylogenies), a working group of <a href="http://www.nescent.org">NESCent</a>. We thank <a href="http://www.nescent.org">NESCent</a>, <a href="http://www.iplantcollaborative.org">iPlant</a> and <a href="http://synthesis.eol.org/">BioSync</a> for their initial support. </li>
<li>We especially thank NESCent, the NSF-funded center that aided synthetic science and interoperability for 10 years before closing in 2015. </li>
