Fig. 2.

Lineage classification results. A Maximum likelihood inference phylogeny using a global reference dataset. Red circles represent the genomes generated in our study (n = 57). Blue circles represent the XAG recombinant genomes. Different colors represent BA.1, BA.2, BA.4, and BA.5. B Schematic representation of SARS-CoV-2 XAG recombinant lineage. Orange dots (ORF1ab gene) represent conserved mutations frequently found in BA.1 lineage. Purple dots (spike gene) represent conserved mutations commonly found in BA.2 lineage, while green dots (ORF1ab) represent mutations found in XAG recombinant variant
