Phylogenetic position of Omicron isolated in IRESSEF (Phylogeny reconstruction was performed using the nextstrain/ncov tool (https://github.com/nextstrain/ncov) then visualised with Auspice (https://docs.nextstrain.org/projects/auspice/en/stable/). The genome of the original Wuhan-Hu-1 coronavirus isolate (GenBank accession no. NC_045512.2) was added as outgroup. Major (most prevalent) variants are labeled) and C.
