Inference of genotype-phenotype relationships in the antigenic evolution of human influenza A (H3N2) viruses.

Distinguishing mutations that determine an organism's phenotype from (near-) neutral 'hitchhikers' is a fundamental challenge in genome research, and is relevant for numerous medical and biotechnological applications. For human influenza viruses, recognizing changes in the antigenic p...
