Genomic Signatures of Influenza A Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Virus

Abstract excerpt

Adaptive mutations that have contributed to the emergence of influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus, which can replicate and transmit among humans, remain unknown. We conducted a large-scale scanning of influenza protein sequences and identified amino acid-conserving positions that are specific to host species, called signatures. Of 47 signatures that separate avian viruses from human viruses by their...
