Currently, the mutation rules for influenza viruses remain ambiguous. In light of the threat of Avian Influenza there is an urgent need to understand the governing principles behind influenza virus mutations. Here, the applicability of a periodic table for the genetic code of influenza A/H3N2 virus is explored. In addition, two rules regarding single point mutations of the hemagglutinin gene are presented. The first rule states that non-synonymous single point mutations are intimately associated with the first or second base replacements between two congener codons of four groups (5, 6, 9, and 10) in the proposed periodic table. The second rule involves the use of a new index (inversion number) that describes a mutation. This paper will take the first step toward developing an approach for indexing different types of mutations in the influenza genome. http://precedings.nature.com/documents/428/version/2 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:13:29 UTC Application of a periodic table for the genetic code of the influenza A/H3N2 virus hdl:10101/npre.2009.428.2 2009-09-09 Susumu Morimoto Nature Precedings 2009-09-09T19:13:29Z Manuscript Microbiology http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2007.682.1 The 64 codons of the genetic code are arranged on a six-set Edwards-Venn diagram in such a way that the amino-acids are advantageously displayed. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2007.682.1 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 19:07:00 UTC Picturing the genetic code doi:10.1038/npre.2007.682.1 2007-08-24 A.W.F.

Currently the mutational rule of influenza viruses have remained perplexed and to reveal it should be now desired when avian influenza virus has just then threatened human beings. Here I examine the applicability of a novel periodic table for the genetic code to influenza A/H3N2 virus, while presenting two rules regarding single point mutations of its virus hemagglutinin gene. One rule is that non-synonymous single point mutations are intimately associated with the first or second base replacements between four groups (5, 6, 9, and 10) in the periodic table. Another rule is that there is a new index (inversion number) conserving in mutation. This paper will take the first step to such contribution of mutational reactions. http://precedings.nature.com/documents/428/version/1 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 05:14:01 UTC Application of a periodic table for the genetic code to influenza A/H3N2 virus hdl:10101/npre.2007.428.1 2009-03-04 Susumu Morimoto Nature Precedings 2007-08-13T05:14:01Z Manuscript Chemistry Genetics & Genomics Evolutionary Biology http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
