Fig. 2: ML phylogeny of white-tailed deer viral genomes.
From: Divergent SARS-CoV-2 variant emerges in white-tailed deer with deer-to-human transmission
Included are Ontario deer-derived genomes and an associated human sample (which have been collectively designated as lineage B.1.641) and a representative sample of the global diversity of human and animal-derived SARS-CoV-2 (n = 3,645). This phylogeny represents all non-human animal-derived samples (with the exception of domestic mink from Europe, which were subsampled) in GISAID at the time of sampling along with a representative subsample of human-derived genomes. VOCs and variants previously designated as variants under investigation within the tree are annotated and nodes are coloured by host genus (as indicated in the legend). The dotted line indicates the samples selected for the local ML analysis (Fig. 3).
