Origin of outbreak, HA gene analysis

Oliver Pybus 30-APR-2009

Data set comprised HA gene alignment comprising 141 sequences, 1700nt  long. I removed even more non-outbreak-related sequences removed for speed. Analysed in BEAST under a strict clock, GTR+gamma substitution model, 10-step Bayesian skyline plot. Results were combined from 6 independent runs, 45 million states in total. Strict clock and substitution model parameter values can be found here.

    Interpretation:

    • The TMRCA is essentially identical the one I did yesterday. It is earlier than the TMRCA reported by Andrew (using a different approach) but both analyses suggest the outbreak is several months old. 
    • The outbreak sequences are already starting to group by location. However, these groups should be treated with caution as they are only supported by a couple of mutations (whole genome analysis would identify clusters better).
    • We have 10 years of unsampled HA diversity leading up to this outbreak...

    Technical notes:

    • There is some alignment uncertainty in the last 3 nucleotides of New_York_20 and Ohio_07, so those sites were removed. 
    • The BSP group size parameters mix slowly (as usual...) so it is worth increasing the deltaexchange operator value.

    Worth noting that the new human strains are all dated contemporaneously even though with about a month of sampling now, the oldest sequence would be a fifth of the way back with a Nov-2008 TMRCA

    Good point - I'll fix that in the next iteration. I don't expect it will have a big effect. I could do with more accurate sampling dates for the reference strains too. Anyone got those?

    There is a table on my BEAST analysis page (the New York ones are estimated as 6 days prior to the test results being known - the dates on GISAID are clearly wrong).

    The human H1N1 lineage's HA rate is very similar to the classical swine, which supports your use of this rate for another human outbreak.
