Extended Data Fig. 1

Maximum likelihood phylogeny of 726 partial (>25% of genome positions) genomes shows two primary lineages (Nichols, SS14), with no obvious correlation by country or continent. Tree tip points are coloured by continent. Coloured strips show continent, country (all), countries separated by region (European Countries, North American Countries, Other Countries) and TPA lineage. One very low coverage sample (TPA_BCC144, Canada, 47% genome breadth, 7.9X mean coverage) appears basal to the SS14-lineage clade in this phylogeny, but due to low coverage it was not possible to determine the correct placement.
