Abstract excerpt
Avian influenza A (H9N2) viruses are widespread in poultry and occasionally infect mammals, contributing genes to other emerging strains. The factors that allow these viruses to withstand higher temperatures are not well understood. In this study, we used high-temperature selection and deep mutational scanning of a saturated H9N2 hemagglutinin (HA) mutant library. We identified three HA mutations, S84F, G167N,...
