Modeling cross-immunity between flu strains
• Can sequence evolution be used as a proxy for
antigenic evolution when modeling influenza’s
hemagglutinin?
(i.e. does genotype approximate phenotype?)
• Propose alternative to this genotype-phenotype map
for influenza’s hemagglutinin evolution
• Consider the effect of this new mapping on the
phylogenetics and dynamics (i.e. phylodynamics) of
influenza H3N2

Fontana &
Schuster,
JTB (1998)
• “A neutral mutation does not change the phenotype but it does change the
potential for change… What appears to be a sudden and abrupt change at the
phenotypic level has been the result of neutral genetic drift.” -Fontana
Neutral network mapping for proteins
Lau and Dill
• Single sequence changes can result in large changes in protein
conformation.
• Changing a sequence by a large number of mutations may have no
appreciable effect on protein conformation.

Notions of neutrality
Influential sites model
Only changes at very few sites can precipitate a cluster jump, and
their ability to do so does not depend on the genetic background
in which they occur.
Genetic diversification within clusters does not facilitate adaptive
change, and can be safely ignored.
Context-dependent model
Changes at most sites can precipitate a cluster jump if those
changes occur in the right genetic background.
Cluster innovations are guided by the process of neutral diffusion,
via changing the genetic background of sequences.

Conclusions
• An alternative, empirically-supported model
of influenza’s hemagglutinin evolution can
account for both H3N2’s dynamic and the
phylogenetic patterns of its HA1.
• Incorporating appropriate genotypephenotype maps for the effect of mutations
at the phenotypic level may be important for
understanding pathogen evolution.
