Figure 3. Phylogeny of SARS-CoV-2, Colombia. A) Time-resolved maximum-likelihood tree of 1,578 SARS-CoV-2 sequences. Red indicates 122 sequences from Colombia. B) Root-to-tip distance regression for the sequence data in A. C) Time-resolved maximum-likelihood tree, annotated by region of isolation. The outer ring represents SARS-CoV-2 lineages; the inner red ring highlights the relative position of the sequences from Colombia; the middle ring and the corresponding numbers indicate sequences from epidemiologically linked transmission chains. Branches are colored by the geographic attribution from the migration inference. Highly supported groups are delineated by thicker solid lines. A detailed maximum-likelihood tree is available at https://itol.embl.de/tree/8619015795401231596483440. SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
