Genomic sequence analyses of global severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 isolates. A) Maximum-clade credibility phylogenetic tree of 2,000 subsampled global genomes (1,996 most recently sampled B.1.1.1. plus 4 non-B.1.1.1. used as an outgroup) with an outer ring colored by sampling region. B) Posterior probability of genomes within the sister clade to that of the August 2020 outbreak in New Zealand, color coded by sampling location. C) Proportion of genomes within lineage B.1.1.1. in the global dataset over time, color-coded by sampling location.
