"The Genome 10K project aims to assemble a genomic zoo—a collection of DNA sequences representing the genomes of 10,000 vertebrate species, approximately one for every vertebrate genus."

"The 1000 plants (oneKP or 1KP) initiative is a public-private partnership generating large scale gene sequence information for 1000 different species of plants."

"The goal of the 1000 Genomes Project is to find most genetic variants that have frequencies of at least 1% in the populations studied."

"The 1001 Genomes Project, launched at the beginning of 2008, has as a goal to discover the whole-genome sequence variation in 1001 strains (accessions) of the reference plant Arabidopsis thaliana.""

"Our intention is to encourage genome sequencing across the diversity of the phylum Nematoda." 959 Nematodes provides tables and access to published, ongoing, and proposed nematode genome sequencing projects.

"The i5k initiative plans to sequence the genomes of 5,000 insect and related arthropod species over the next 5 years. (started 2011) This project will be transformative because it aims to sequence the genomes of all insect species known to be important to worldwide agriculture, food safety, medicine, and energy production; all those used as models in biology; the most abundant in world ecosystems; and representatives in every branch of insect phylogeny so as to achieve a deep understanding of arthropod evolution and phylogeny."

"GOLD is a World Wide Web resource for comprehensive access to information regarding complete and ongoing genome projects around the world." GOLD comprises information about the three major lineages of the tree life.

"The ISC has established the Web site to provide a single, central site for the scientific community and the public to have access to up-to-date information about animal, plant and other eukaryotic genomic sequencing projects."

"The genomes of more than 180 organisms have been sequenced since 1995. The Quick Guide includes descriptions of these organisms and has links to sequencing centers and scientific abstracts."

All the taxonomic relationships between the species have been taken from NCBI's Taxonomy Database regardless of newer (and more acurrate) placings of the species described in various publications.

"The Tree of Life Web Project is a collaborative effort of biologists from around the world. On more than 4000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about the diversity of organisms on Earth, their evolutionary history (phylogeny), and characteristics."
