Figures & data

Table 1 SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Commercial Kits and Ct Values for the First B.1.1.7 or Alpha Strain Identified in Ecuador

Figure 1 The 17 mutations defining lineage B.1.1.7 or alpha (clade 501.YV1). All the mutations are shared between the genome assembled for the first record of this variant in Ecuador and the reference genome for the clade.

Figure 2 Maximum likelihood phylogeny of a sample of B.1.1.7 Pango lineage/VOC Alpha genomes from Europe, Latin America and North America. Names of key sequences from Ecuador are featured; the first sequence from Ecuador is shown in red, a selection of additional sequences produced by the national genomic surveillance scheme are shown in blue, and genomes from international locations are shown in grey.
