This radial phylogenetic tree of life visualizes evolutionary relationships among bacterial species as curved links radiating from a central root, with faded gray connector lines linking leaf nodes to their labels. A checkbox toggles between constant and variable branch lengths, showing evolutionary divergence. The code uses d3.cluster layout, d3.hierarchy, d3.text for data parsing, and transitions to animate between states, with mouseover highlighting the active path.

AI-generated description

A re-implementation of Jason Davies’ Phylogenetic Tree of Life, with faded gray lines to connect the leaf nodes of the tree to their corresponding labels inspired by a figure from Nature.

This implementation modifies the depth of interior nodes in a cluster layout to show branch lengths. Toggle the checkbox in the top-left corner to show or hide branch lengths, and mouseover a label to highlight its path to the root.
