Figure 1. Phylogenetic sequence context consisted of high-quality complete severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 genome sequences from a domestic ferret, Slovenia, corresponding to Pango lineage B.1.258. The context sequences were downloaded from GISAID (https://www.gisaid.org) and subsampled to 62 sequences and National Center for Biotechnology Information reference sequence NC_045512.2. The phylogenetic reconstruction using a general time-reversible plus F plus R4 substitution model was built in Figtree (Evomics, http://evomics.org) with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The reference sequence was used as an outgroup to root the phylogenetic tree. GISAID accession numbers and isolation dates are provided. Scale bar indicates substitutions per site.
