Few people can hand-edit Newick format to include more species or alter relationships. I've developed a linearization of Newick format that puts each species into its own spreadsheet row, separating species and metric data from the "grammar". This allows for easy editing and numerical spreadsheet operations such as totally up branch lengths in comparative genomics projects. Tabs are ignored by the online tree tools.
Lesser-known genSpp codes here are thaSir for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thamnophis_sirtalis Thamnophis sirtalis (garter snake)] and
sphPun for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuatara Sphenodon punctatus (tuatura)]. These species were approved for genome sequencing but to date not begun.

=== The UCSC 100-way vertebrate genome phylogenetic tree in Newick format ===
Either of the two representations of the vertebrate genome phylogenetic tree, when pasted into the UCSC tree drawing utility [http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/phyloPng phyloPng], will reproduce species relatedness used at UCSC tracks and resources. Note coding genes are given for the 100-way in the order listed (see proteinFasta on gene details page) as both nucleotide and amino acid exonic format.
The first representation shows various higher order tax as individual lines, for example great apes as the first line. (Line returns are not part of Newick format but are generally ignored by drawing tools.) This display makes it slightly easier to add new species. Thus, to add echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), the monotreme line can be hand-edited: ornAna), --> (tacAcu,ornAna), as this genome becomes available.
The second representation is linearized to spreadsheet format. This separates the genus species list from parenthetic nesting used to describe topology. Branching times (or evolutionary rates) can be taken from the literature and  can be inserted (as shown above) to draw trees whose horizontal lines have quantitative significance.
The graphic shows an advanced use of the linearized format. The 100-way and Blast searches were used to obtain 100 orthologs of the opsin gene ONP5 (neuropsin). Position 168 was then extracted from the protein alignment and its value placed in front of the appropriate species, followed by an underscore (_) which is interpeted as a space by phyloPng.
The display was then colored to illustrate that a shift from alanine to threonine occurred at the divergence of placental mammals from marsupials. Alanine was ancestral in deuterostomes and continues to this day to be invariant in non-placentals. The threonine substitution for its part came under strong selection too and has been invariant over several billion years of summed placental branch length. Such substitutions are called phyloSNPs or [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23733948 phylogenetically coherent events].

Alternative topologies for Laurasiatheres

The proper arrangement of species within Laurasiatheres is under active investigation. Two of many alternatives are shown along with L1MA9 retroposon data supporting the Pegasoferae arrangement. Pangolins, not shown and genome project apparently canceled, are now known to be the sister group to carnivores.

The UCSC 100-way vertebrate genome phylogenetic tree in Newick format

Either of the two representations of the vertebrate genome phylogenetic tree, when pasted into the UCSC tree drawing utility phyloPng, will reproduce species relatedness used at UCSC tracks and resources. Note coding genes are given for the 100-way in the order listed (see proteinFasta on gene details page) as both nucleotide and amino acid exonic format.

The first representation shows various higher order tax as individual lines, for example great apes as the first line. (Line returns are not part of Newick format but are generally ignored by drawing tools.) This display makes it slightly easier to add new species. Thus, to add echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), the monotreme line can be hand-edited: ornAna), --> (tacAcu,ornAna), as this genome becomes available.

The second representation is linearized to spreadsheet format. This separates the genus species list from parenthetic nesting used to describe topology. Branching times (or evolutionary rates) can be taken from the literature and can be inserted (as shown above) to draw trees whose horizontal lines have quantitative significance.

The graphic shows an advanced use of the linearized format. The 100-way and Blast searches were used to obtain 100 orthologs of the opsin gene ONP5 (neuropsin). Position 168 was then extracted from the protein alignment and its value placed in front of the appropriate species, followed by an underscore (_) which is interpeted as a space by phyloPng.

The display was then colored to illustrate that a shift from alanine to threonine occurred at the divergence of placental mammals from marsupials. Alanine was ancestral in deuterostomes and continues to this day to be invariant in non-placentals. The threonine substitution for its part came under strong selection too and has been invariant over several billion years of summed placental branch length. Such substitutions are called phyloSNPs or phylogenetically coherent events.

Available genome assemblies as of May 2008

The table is correct as of 01 May 08. The species are listed in quasi phylogenetic order (with human arbitrarily listed first and other subtree ordered by genome quality).

  • Traces indicated in millions, eg Trc12 means 12 million traces but no wgs contigs or assembly available
  • Wgs08 means wgs division of GenBank contains short assembled contigs searchable with tBlastn
  • Mar06 etc means the March 2006 assembly is the most recent available at UCSC

Genus and species commonly used in comparative genomics

The list below provides correctly spelled genus and species for which complete genes are commonly available, either from whole genome sequencing, large-scale cDNA projects, or transcriptome sets.

To align a set orthologous genes collected for a specific comparative project, replace the word 'gene' with its HUGO acronym (example PRNP). Then replace the '.' and the spaces with tabs and paste into spreadsheet columns. Then add accession numbers, taxon ID and sequence data to new columns. Replace the final ')' with a ')lineReturn' converts to standard fasta format. (Note the fasta header here is a database in its own right.)

The first column of numbers then sort the rows into the same anthropocentric order of species as seen in the 100-species alignment at the UCSC human genome browser which is the same order as in the 100-way download page at proteinFasta link from the gene details page.

The second column of numbers will sort rows into quasi-phylogenetic ordering (human taken arbitrarily as first). They're in that order now, but some important web alignment tools do not have an option to retain input order, meaning that phylogenetic ordering needs to be restored after the alignment for purposes of comparative genomics.
