The hierarchical structure of the 28 lineages and sublineages monitored by the BV-BRC SARS-CoV-2 tracking system (Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center 2022). This structure reflects their evolutionary trajectories and relationships (Hadfield et al. 2018; Hodcroft 2021). The lineages selected for our study (green) are independent in this hierarchy structure.
