生物学家和其他科学家通常需要知道物种之间的分化时间，并构建按时间校准的系统发育图(时间表)。已发表的报告分子数据时间估计的研究一直在迅速增加，但由于这些数据的复杂性，更多的科学家在很大程度上无法获取这些数据。Timetree以一致的格式将这些数据集中在一起，并使用与生命树相对应的层次结构，以最大化它们的效用。结果被呈现和总结，使用户能够快速确定时间估计的范围和稳健性，以及从已发表的文献中获得共识的程度。
Biologists and other scientists routinely need to know times of divergence between species and to construct phylogenies calibrated to time (timetrees). Published studies reporting time estimates from molecular data have been increasing rapidly, but the data have been largely inaccessible to the greater community of scientists because of their complexity. TimeTree brings these data together in a consistent format and uses a hierarchical structure, corresponding to the tree of life, to maximize their utility. Results are presented and summarized, allowing users to quickly determine the range and robustness of time estimates and the degree of consensus from the published literature.
