What the tree shows

  • Antigenic clades — colour-coded groups sharing a similar antigen
  • Vaccine strains — the WHO-recommended strains for the season are marked
  • Geographic distribution — where each sequence comes from
  • HA mutations — amino-acid substitutions mapped onto the tree
Open Nextstrain — H3N2 HA (2 years)
