Borreliella chromosome phylogeny. It is based on a concatenated 144,891-long protein sequence alignment of 450 single-copy orthologues universally present in all Borreliella genomes (see Methods) and is rooted with orthologues from relapsing-fever Borrelia genomes (not shown). The four previously designated B. burgdorferi chromosomal “SNP types” A, B, C and D [1] and a new type E are indicated outside the circle in the same color box as the cognate strain names. Isolate names are shown within the outer ring, and species designations of the genomes are indicated by color in the outer ring. Continental origins of the isolates are indicated by colored dots at the tips
