a, Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree, based on 2,441 genome-wide variant positions. The tree was constructed to indicate the genetic relationships between available 0.ANT genomes depicted on the map and BSK001/003. Modern branches were collapsed to enhance tree clarity (see Extended Data Fig. 8 for a full tree). b, Map depicting the geographical isolation locations of 0.ANT strains (Supplementary Table 21), which belong to the closest ancestral branching lineages to the Kara-Djigach strain. The map includes both whole-genome data (further specified as 0.ANT lineages 1, 2, 3 and 5) and PCR-genotyped isolates that are broadly defined as 0.ANT, belonging to any of the 4 lineages. For strains in which exact geographical coordinates were unavailable, locations were approximated according to their associated plague reservoirs. To aid visibility in overlapping symbols, a jitter option was implemented for plotting objects on the map. The map was created with QGIS v.3.22.1 (ref. 51) and uses Natural Earth vector map data from https://www.naturalearthdata.com/.
