(a) Unrooted phylogenetic tree based on SARS-CoV-2 full genome database from the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID). Genomes collected outside China are highlighted in green. (b) Enlargement of clade reporting SARS-CoV-2/INMI1-Isolate/2020/Italy (in red). Maximum likelihood phylogeny was reconstructed under Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano plus proportion of invariable sites (HKY + I), inferred by model test function.
