Abstract

Analyses and visualizations by the ISSCOR method of the influenza virus hemagglutinin genes of three different A-subtypes revealed some rather striking temporal (for A/H3N3), and spatial relationships (for A/H5N1) between groups of individual gene subsets. The application to the A/H1N1 set revealed also relationships between the seasonal H1, and the swine-like novel 2009 H1v variants in a quick and unambiguous manner. Based on these examples we consider the application of the ISSCOR method for analysis of large sets of homologous genes as a worthwhile addition to a toolbox of genomics-it allows a rapid diagnostics of trends, and possibly can even aid an early warning of newly emerging epidemiological threats.
