Phylogenetic classification and the universal tree

A Science paper on phylogenetic classification and the universal tree. The companion cites it for the point that microbial genealogies look more like webs than trees, because genes move between lineages. Noogenetic lineages may go further, into genealogies that look like clouds, as shown in Fig. 6a.
