Respiratory Syncytial Virus-A ON1 Genotype Emergence in Central Mexico in 2009 and Evidence of Multiple Duplication Events
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of respiratory infections. An RSV-A genotype (ON1) that contains a 72-nt duplication was reported in 2012 and has since extended worldwide. Methods: We analyzed 345 respiratory samples obtained between 2003 and 2014 to assess the relevance of ON1 infections. Nucleotidic and deduced amino acid sequences from viruses detected in San Luis Potosí and sequences previously reported were analyzed. Results: RSV ON1 was detected in 105 samples. The earliest case of ON1 infection was detected in November 2009, almost 1 year prior to detection of this virus in Canada. Amino acid sequence analysis of the duplication region showed the presence of Y273N and L274P substitutions in RSV GA2 viruses that, when combined, resulted in 4 different GXXSPSQ sequence motifs at positions 272-278. Three of these motifs were present in both the original and duplicated regions of ON1 strains. Additional signature amino acid substitutions were observed in ON1 strains that have the different sequence motifs. Conclusions: ON1 strains include viruses that appear to be the result of at least 3 independent duplication events. Molecular data of strains from diverse geographical regions should help define the frequency and implications of this evolution mechanism.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
