Figure 1. Phylogenetic confirmation that SARS-CoV-2 isolates belong to R.1 lineage in study of sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies and resistance to type I interferons in SARS-CoV-2 R.1 lineage variants, Canada. Tree constructed by using maximum-likelihood estimations by executing 1,000 rapid bootstrap inferences and a thorough search with the general time reversible model of nucleotide substitution. Blue indicates R1 isolates (R.1 645, R.1 646) and red SB3 isolate. Variants are highlighted in magenta (Alpha), green (Beta), brown (Delta), mocha (Gamma), and orange (Omicron). The tree was visualized using FigTree version 1.4.2 (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree).
