a, MPXV global phylogeny showing that the 2022 outbreak cluster (lineage B.1) belongs to clade 3. Clade and lineage are designated according to the nomenclature proposed by Happi et al.9. b, Genetic diversity within the outbreak cluster, including the 15 sequences analyzed in this study (released in the NCBI before 27 May 2022). The deletion symbol (Δ) denotes a large deletion (11,335–12,247 in the MPXV-UK_P2-010 gene) shared by sequences segregating in a small subcluster. c, Outbreak phylogenetic tree updated with sequences available in the NCBI as of 15 June 2022 (provided during revision for more updated contextualization). The list of the sequences used in these phylogenetic analyses is detailed in Supplementary Table 2, and the alignments are provided as Supplementary Data.
