Phylogenetic analysis of the Omicron variant by Ultrafast Sample placement of Existing tRee (UShER). The phylogenetic tree (unrooted tree) was constructed with a total of 2012 SARS‐CoV‐2 strains involving 12 strains of the Omicron variant (red color) and 2000 strains from 25 different clades. Each color in the tree is representing a different clade/lineage
