Nearly 20% of JN.1.13 (listed in CDC dashboard) is KS.1 (JN.1.13.1.1; not separated from the parent lineage yet)

and 55% of JN.1.16 is JN.1.16.1

#H5N1 Clade 2.3.2.1c - #Vietnam

New sequence from Khanh Hoa has intriguing #avianflu reassortment and PB2-E627K mammalian adaptation signature.

PB2-E627K was absent in previously submitted avian sequences.

Looked at the newly uploaded Human Sequence (ID: 19027114) from Texas

- PB2 contains 👀E627K 👀

in addition to the mutations found in the dairy cattle and wild bird sequences uploaded earlier (used #Fluserver for mutational analysis)
Image Thanks to the labs that are testing, rapidly sequencing and submitting data to public databases (GISAID and others)!
