Influenza Virus Genomes from a Pediatric Hospital in Eastern China, 2024

Xiaoqing Sun's dataset contains 425 influenza virus genomes sequenced from 490 antigen-positive specimens collected in 2024 from a pediatric hospital in Qidong, eastern China. The genomes include at least hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) segments. The data reveals co-circulation patterns of A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria lineages, phylogenetic clades, and antiviral susceptibility markers.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis of influenza virus clades based on whole-genome sequencing data.
• Tracking antiviral resistance markers such as the oseltamivir resistance marker NA-H275Y.
• Analyzing co-circulation patterns and seasonal peaks of influenza subtypes.
• Identifying positively selected sites in viral proteins like hemagglutinin.

Strengths

• Includes 425 sequenced genomes from a specific pediatric population in 2024.
• Provides specific lineage breakdowns: A/H1N1 (45.41%), A/H3N2 (18.35%), B/Victoria (36.24%).
• Contains detailed genetic analysis including phylogenetic clade assignments and resistance marker detection.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data is contained in a 49.1 KB PDF file, suggesting the primary data may be summarized results rather than raw sequences.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single hospital in Qidong, eastern China.
