Phylogenetic mobile of sequenced mammals

Phylogenetic trees show the evolutionary relationships between animals. This is a scientifically accurate scale model of a phylogenetic tree with the thirty mammals whose genomes have been sequenced. The full size mobile, measuring about 20 feet across, hangs in the lobby of the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA.
