低维聚类检测早期优势流感毒株簇

Low-dimensional clustering detects incipient dominant influenza strain clusters

Jiankui He, Michael W. Deem

摘要:

流感一直在人群中传播,并在上个世纪引起了三次大流行(1918 H1N1,1957 H2 N2,1968 H3 N2)。2009年甲型H1N1流感被世界卫生组织列为第四大流行病。流感具有很高的进化率,这使得疫苗设计具有挑战性。我们在这里考虑一种新的优势菌株的早期检测方法。通过对2009年A(H1N1)序列数据进行聚类,我们发现了两个主要聚类。然后,我们定义了一个度量来检测显性菌株的出现。我们表明,历史H3 N2数据,这种方法是能够确定一个集群周围的一个初期的优势菌株之前,它成为主导。例如,对于截至2009年3月30日的H3 N2,该方法检测到新的A/不列颠哥伦比亚/RV 1222/2009毒株的簇。这种菌株检测工具似乎对每年的流感疫苗选择有用。

英文摘要:

Influenza has been circulating in the human population and has caused three pandemics in the last century (1918 H1N1, 1957 H2N2, 1968 H3N2). The 2009 A(H1N1) was classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the fourth pandemic. Influenza has a high evolution rate, which makes vaccine design challenging. We here consider an approach for early detection of new dominant strains. By clustering the 2009 A(H1N1) sequence data, we found two main clusters. We then define a metric to detect the emergence of dominant strains. We show on historical H3N2 data that this method is able to identify a cluster around an incipient dominant strain before it becomes dominant. For example, for H3N2 as of March 30, 2009, the method detects the cluster for the new A/British Columbia/RV1222/2009 strain. This strain detection tool would appear to be useful for annual influenza vaccine selection.
