Fig. 2: Time-scaled phylogenetic tree of Kenyan genomes against selected global genomes.

The tree was constructed with 316 genomes sampled from GISAID and 969 genomes from this study. The study samples were resolved into non-VOC/VOI lineages (grey branches), Delta (blue branches), Omicron (red branches), Alpha (green branches), Beta (black branches), Eta (teal branches) and the A.23.1 lineage (purple branches). No Kenyan samples branched with either the gamma variant (orange branches) or the Mu variant (crimson branches). Yellow tips represent global genomes, while blue tips represent the study samples. The different colors on branches represent the Pango lineages.
