Long-term experimental evolution of seasonal influenza A/H3N2 virus reveals diverse evolutionary potential
Annelies de Rooij, Katina D. Hulme, Sarah van Leeuwen…·Colin A. Russell
This study shows that A/H3N2 influenza virus evolves differently in independent human airway cultures, with limited parallelism and novel mutations, suggesting evolutionary paths are influenced by selective context rather than intrinsic constraints.
