Phylogenetic tree of B.1.1.7 variant viruses. For phylogenetic analysis, Wuhan reference SARS‐CoV‐2 (EPI_ISL_529213) sequence and whole genome sequences of B.1.1.7 SARS‐CoV‐2 strain deposited on GISAID till January 8, 2021 were downloaded followed by multiple sequence alignment using MAFTT. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using BEAST to estimate divergence times. The Pakistani sequences are highlighted in green color. The tree was edited and visualized using Figtree software (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/). A timescale for evolution of strain is shown at the bottom of tree. Complete genome sequences of SARS‐CoV‐2 B.1.1.7 strains (MU‐NIH‐K14 & MU‐NIH‐K53) are deposited at the GISAID having accession ID's EPI_ISL_757258 and EPI_ISL_757286
