AI Thread Summary
A complete tree of life encompassing all species is not feasible due to the vast number of species, but significant portions can be accessed through various resources. The Tree of Life Web Project (tolweb.org) offers extensive images, facts, and references. Additionally, a phylogenetic tree based on fully sequenced genomes is available at a Wikimedia link. For those interested in generating their own phylogenetic trees, an online tool is provided at itol.embl.de. Relevant scientific articles from PubMed are also referenced for further reading.

I was wondering if there was any resource out there that had a complete tree of life for all the species.
 
Biology news on Phys.org
Here's a starting point, try searching under 'phylogenetic tree'

'All the species' represents millions and millions and millions, so the answer is probably no, but explicit parts of it can easily be found.

Here is a great resource: http://tolweb.org/tree/

It has lots of images, facts and references.

Here is one tree of life based on completely sequenced genomes
