TL;DR: The lack of similarity between the 2009 A(H1N1) virus and its nearest relatives indicates that its gene segments have been circulating undetected for an extended period as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-Reaction Genomic Amplification Accelerates Sequencing and Vaccine Production for Classical and Swine Origin Human Influenza A Viruses
Bin Zhou,Bin Zhou,Matthew E. Donnelly,Derek T. Scholes,Kirsten St. George,Masato Hatta,Yoshihiro Kawaoka,Yoshihiro Kawaoka,David E. Wentworth,David E. Wentworth +9 more
TL;DR: A multisegment reverse transcription-PCR approach that simultaneously amplifies eight genomic RNA segments, irrespective of virus subtype is developed and used to rescue a contemporary H3N2 virus and a swine origin H1N1 virus directly from human swab specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infections With Oseltamivir-Resistant Influenza A(H1N1) Virus in the United States
Nila J. Dharan,Larisa V. Gubareva,John J. Meyer,Margaret Okomo-Adhiambo,Reginald C. McClinton,Steven A. Marshall,Kirsten St. George,Scott Epperson,Lynnette Brammer,Alexander Klimov,Joseph S. Bresee,Alicia M. Fry +11 more
TL;DR: Oseltamivir-resistant A(H1N1) viruses circulated widely in the United States during the 2007-2008 influenza season, appeared to be unrelated to oseltAMivir use, and appeared to cause illness similar to oselstamIVir-susceptible A( H1N 1) viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale sequencing of human influenza reveals the dynamic nature of viral genome evolution

Spiro,Jeff Sitz,Hean Koo,Pavel Bolotov,Dmitry Dernovoy,Tatiana Tatusova,Yiming Bao,Kirsten St. George,Jill Taylor,David J. Lipman,Claire M. Fraser,Jeffery K. Taubenberger,Steven L. Salzberg,Steven L. Salzberg +19 more
TL;DR: A new, large-scale sequencing effort to provide a more comprehensive picture of the evolution of influenza viruses and of their pattern of transmission through human and animal populations is reported, encompassing a total of 2,821,103 nucleotides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-Genome Analysis of Human Influenza A Virus Reveals Multiple Persistent Lineages and Reassortment among Recent H3N2 Viruses
Edward C. Holmes,Elodie Ghedin,Naomi Miller,Jill Taylor,Yiming Bao,Kirsten St. George,Bryan T. Grenfell,Steven L. Salzberg,Claire M. Fraser,David J. Lipman,Jeffery K. Taubenberger +10 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of 156 complete genomes of human H3N2 influenza A viruses collected between 1999 and 2004 from New York State, United States demonstrated that multiple lineages can co-circulate, persist, and reassort in epidemiologically significant ways, and underscore the importance of genomic analyses for future influenza surveillance.
