Abstract
Evolutionary events of transmission and reassortment for influenza A viruses were traditionally detected by phylogenetic analysis for influenza viruses' eight gene segments. Because the phylogenetic analysis can be complex, we developed genotype profile method which packaged the phylogenetic algorithms to analyze combination patterns of gene segments and integrated epidemiology knowledge. With the method, the analysis of reassortment and transmission becomes a simple and reliable process that combines genotypes, which is identical for the biological process of the virus. An application called IVEE that implements the method is available for all academic users to apply the method

Because the phylogenetic analysis can be complex, we developed genotype profile method which packaged the phylogenetic algorithms to analyze combination patterns of gene segments and integrated epidemiology knowledge. With the method, the analysis of reassortment and transmission becomes a simple and reliable process that combines genotypes, which is identical for the biological process of the virus. An application called IVEE that implements the method is available for all academic users to apply the method <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://snptransformer.sourceforge.net">http://snptransformer.sourceforge.net</ext-link>.

Three pandemics occurred in the 20th century, in 1918, 1957 and 1968, which were the result of the transmission of avian viruses or a reassortment between human and avian viruses that greatly changed virus antigenicity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>]. At the end of 2008 or the beginning of 2009, a novel swine reassortant was transmitted to humans [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>], and a global pandemic broke out in Mexico and USA in April 2009 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>]. Researchers confirmed that the reassorted virus consisted of six gene segments that emerged from triple-reassortant viruses circulating in North American swine and two gene segments from Eurasian avian-like swine H1N1 viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>]. Because the common ancestor of the new swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) and its most closely related swine viruses existed approximately 10 years ago, the reassortant viruses may have been circulating in pigs for several years before their transmission to humans [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>]. Due to the lack of swine surveillance, the details regarding the reassortment event are unclear.</p><p>Phylogenetic analysis has been an essential method for research into the molecular evolution of influenza A viruses, especially for cross-host transmission and reassortment). Holmes et al. sequenced 156 complete genomes of human H3N2 influenza A viruses collected between 1999 and 2004 from New York, USA, and phylogenetic analysis revealed that multiple reassortment events had occurred among the co-circulating clades [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>]. Nelson et al. showed that segmental reassortment has played an important role in the genomic evolution of H1N1 since 1918 and that intra-subtype reassortment appeared to be an important process in the evolution and epidemiology of H1N1 influenza A virus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]. Nelson et al. found that multiple clades of both H1N1 and H3N2 entered and co-circulated in the United States during the 2006-2007 influenza season, even in localities that were distant from major metropolitan areas [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>]. These data were concordant with other research by the same group concluding that the stochastic processes of viral migration and clade reassortment played a vital role in shaping short-term evolutionary dynamics [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>]. Vijaykrishna et al. discovered a novel swine reassortant in Hong Kong containing genes from both 2009 S-OIV and triple-reassortant virus which implied that swine might be a reservoir of reassortment for 2009 S-OIV [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>]. Li et al. revealed avian reassortment patterns of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus in eastern Asia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>] and the HAPI H5N1 virus had cross-host transmitted to human and caused fatal respiratory illness [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>].</p><p>Traditionally, transmission and reassortment events have been mostly revealed by separate phylogenetic analysis for the eight gene segments [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>]. This analysis method is not so straightforward, and the key process lies in identifying the lineages to which each gene segment belongs, a process that requires professional knowledge about numerous virus lineages. Rabadan et al. proposed an interesting method for revealing potential reassortment that calculates the paired nucleotide differences of the third codon positions between the same segments of any two virus strains [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>]. If the two viruses have a common origin, the differences between all eight segment pairs should be proportional. In contrast, a violation of this rule probably indicates potential reassortment events. The method sounds reasonable; however, several factors may interfere with the calculation of the differences, such as time since divergence, number of generations and geographical isolation. Most importantly, it is difficult to parse the exact parents for potential reassortment. Lu et al. introduced the concept of genotype to define gene segment combinations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>] and developed an online tool called FluGenome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>] to determine genotypes for influenza A viruses and to detect virus reassortment in theory. Lineages for each segment are assigned by a cutoff of 10% nucleotide difference by p-distance in the phylogenetic tree of all nearly complete sequences of influenza A viruses (see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>). The genotypes can be determined by comparing the genomic sequences of new viruses with the genome database using the BLAST algorithm. The best BLAST results are used to assign lineages to the viruses and create genotypes by the sequential combination of the lineages for each segment in the gene order. Thus, the nomenclature of influenza A viruses consists of all eight gene segments, rather than the serotype of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase alone. Reassortment can be detected, in theory, by combining the known genotypes in the database. Unfortunately, FluGenome only provided the process for determining the genotypes, and the analysis process for the reassortment was not implemented directly. Furthermore, the hundreds of genotypes that are collected in the database complicate the analysis even in theory.</p><fig id="F1" position="float"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p><bold>Workflow of detecting transmission and reassortment events using genotype profile method</bold>.

With genotype profiles, the genotypes for the viruses were divided into several basic genotypes and various rare genotypes that may be transmitting viruses or reassortants. Employing genotype profile method, analyzing reassortment and transmission events is a simple and reliable process that combines basic genotypes, similar to the biological process of the virus, while complex phylogenetic analysis is packaged under the method. An application called IVEE that implements the method is available for all academic users to apply the method.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods"><title>Methods</title><sec><title>Genotypes</title><p>"Genotype" was previously defined by Lu et al. as a sequential combination of the lineages for each of the eight segments in an influenza virus genome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>]. A letter was assigned to each lineage of PB2, PB1, PA, NP and M, and a number followed by a letter was assigned to each lineage of HA, NA and NS, with the number representing the serological subtype or allele. For example, [A, D, B, 3A, A, 2A, B, 1A] is the genotype of human seasonal influenza virus subtype H3N2 with PB2 (1<sup>st </sup>position) of lineage A, PB1 (2<sup>nd </sup>position) of lineage D, PA (3<sup>rd </sup>position) of lineage B, HA (4<sup>th </sup>position) subtype 3 of lineage A, NP (5<sup>th </sup>position) of lineage A, NA (6<sup>th </sup>position) subtype 2 of lineage A, MP (7<sup>th </sup>position) of lineage B and NS (8<sup>th </sup>position) subtype 1 of lineage A, which follows the numbering system of influenza genome segments.</p><p>We downloaded the genotype information for all influenza A viruses of humans, swine and avian species in the database on 10<sup>th </sup>Sep, 2010 from FluGenome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>]. In total, there were 3161, 324 and 2572 genomes for human, swine and avian viruses, respectively, and the number of types of corresponding genotypes was 26, 40 and 397, respectively. Two virus strains (A/Texas/09/2009 and A/Canada-ON/RV1527/2009) were used to determine the genotypes of 2009 S-OIV because 2009 S-OIVs and their genotypes were not included in the FluGenome database till now. We downloaded their complete genomic sequences from the NCBI Influenza Virus Resource [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>] and determined their genotypes via FluGenome. Most of the lineages of gene segments could be confirmed directly; however, the lineage of NA was assigned using looser parameters (80% coverage and 80% identity).</p></sec><sec><title>Genotype profiles</title><p>We defined genotype profiles as lists of all genotypes of classic or predominant virus strains for humans, swine or avian species to filter hundreds of not so important genotypes and import epidemiological knowledge for viruses (see Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>). With such a definition, the genotypes for the viruses could be divided into common genotypes and rare genotypes. Common genotypes meant that these genotypes occur frequently and mainly refer to classic or predominant virus strains, whereas rare genotypes have low frequencies. However, in some cases, such as human infecting, highly pathogenic avian H5N1 viruses, they should not be considered genotypes in the human genotype profile (we name them basic genotypes) because they have not yet adapted to human hosts, despite the fact that these genotypes were observed in human hosts with high frequencies. Similarly, some reassortants that have not adapted to their hosts may be isolated with high frequency due to frequent sampling. Thus, the difference between common genotypes and basic genotypes depends on whether the hosts are natural hosts or new hosts after adaptation and are judged based on epidemiological knowledge of influenza A viruses. We further assumed that most of the viruses that have rare genotypes are transmitting viruses or reassortants that emerged from combinations of basic genotypes, and would test the hypothesis later. Occasionally some rare genotypes such as [A, A, A, 1A, A, 1A, B, 1A] for A/Brevig Mission/1/1918 had low frequencies due only to the lack of sampling. These genotypes were all excluded from the genotype profiles to decrease the complexity of the genotype profiles. Genotype profiles for human, swine and avian species were established by the following steps: (i) divide genotypes for the viruses into common genotypes and rare genotypes with a cutoff of 5 for genotype frequencies; (ii) common genotypes were further checked based on knowledge of the evolutionary history of influenza A virus to distinguish basic and non-basic genotypes; (iii) basic genotypes in genotype profiles were further classified into groups and subtypes; (iv) rare genotypes and non-basic genotypes were analyzed following the process for detecting transmission and reassortment

The detecting process includes two steps. First, ascertain whether the genotypes exist in the genotype profiles. If the genotypes of candidate viruses exist in the genotype profiles, the genotypes are basic genotypes as long as the sampling hosts are the same as the hosts of the basic genotype or transmission genotypes when they are different. Thus, the virus is a transmission virus if it has switched hosts from the natural host to the host from which it was sampled. For example, the frequent observation of avian genotypes [K, G, D, 5J, F, 1J, F, 1E] and [G, G, E, 5J, F, 1G, F, 1E] in humans provided evidence that humans were infected with avian H5N1 viruses (see Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref>). Otherwise, the genotypes are considered potential reassortants only if they do not exist in the genotype profiles. Next, observe the characteristics of the lineages of the genotypes and infer the possible reassortment parents by combining the basic genotypes of the genotype profiles. In most cases, the reassortment parents and how they were combined can be easily concluded, except for some novel genotypes that have emerged from unknown origins. We can then test the hypothesis that most of the viruses that have rare genotypes are transmitting viruses or reassortants.</p><table-wrap id="T2" position="float"><label>Table

Corresponding to the classic or predominant virus strains in history and in recent influenza seasons, there are four basic genotypes for human influenza A viruses: [A, A, A/B, 1B, A, 1A, B, 1A] and [C, D, E, 1A, A, 1F, F, 1A] for subtype H1N1 as well as [A, E, B, 2A, A, 2A, B, 1A] for H2N2 and [A, D, B, 3A, A, 2A, B, 1A] for H3N2. This means that the genotypes of most dominant circulating H3N2 viruses belong to [A, D, B, 3A, A, 2A, B, 1A], with PB2 lineage A, PB1 lineage D, PA lineage B, HA subtype 3 lineage A, NP lineage A, NA subtype 2 lineage A, MP lineage B and NS subtype 1 lineage A. The genotype nomenclature system consists of all eight gene segments, rather than serotypes of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase alone. Thus, the status of the whole virus genome is clearly reflected by the combination of the lineages of eight gene segments.</p><p>With the help of the genotypes, we could reconstruct the evolutionary history of the human influenza A virus. In 1918, a global pandemic was caused by the influenza A virus subtype H1N1. Taubenberger et al. isolated and sequenced a virus strain named A/Brevig Mission/1/1918, which had the genotype [A, A, A, 1A, A, 1A, B, 1A] (see Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref>). They proposed that the virus was originally transmitted from avian host and adapted to human before the 1918 pandemic [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>] while some researchers argued that the evidence for the avian-origin hypothesis was not enough and it might be the result of a reassortment or a recombination between human and swine viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>]. It's hard to solve the debate exactly due to the lack of sampling viruses dominating in that era and the factors such as constraining selection and reassortment/recombination complicates phylogenetic analysis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">24</xref>]. Regardless of its origin debate, the H1N1 virus varied quickly and caused the subsequent seasonal epidemics [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>]. During the 1930s and 1940s (the sampling time of strains in FluGenome was 1933-1947), the genotype [A, A, A, 1B, A, 1A, B, 1A], which had a different HA lineage, dominated. In the next decade (the sampling time of strains in FluGenome was 1948-1957), nearly all circulating strains were [A, A, B, 1B, A, 1A, B, 1A], a strain that reappeared in 1977 and remained up to date. In 1957, three avian gene segments (PB1, HA and NA) replaced the corresponding human-adapted segments of influenza A (H1N1) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>], and a novel subtype H2N2 with genotype [A, E, B, 2A, A, 2A, B, 1A] was produced. In 1968, similar events occurred and led to the new H3N2 reassortant with genotype [A, D, B, 3A, A, 2A, B, 1A], where PB1 and HA were derived from avian strains [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>].</p></sec><sec><title>Swine</title><p>Swine influenza A viruses can be classified into classic swine, Eurasian avian-like swine and triple-reassortant swine viruses. Classic swine influenza viruses have the genotype [B, A, C, 1A, A, 1B, A, 1A] and only exist in the subtype H1N1. Because of divergence over long periods of time, the differences between the genotypes of human and classic swine influenza viruses (i.e., subtype H1N1) are large, and only the lineages for PB1, NP and NS are concordant. Around 1980, avian-like swine influenza A viruses appeared in Europe [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>] and then appeared in Asia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref>], replacing almost all of the previously predominant classic swine viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">27</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">28</xref>]. The avian-like viruses have the genotype pattern [F, G, I, 4, F, 6, F, 1E], which is entirely different from the patterns for classic swine or human viruses. Furthermore, some gene segments, such as PB1 (lineage G), NP (lineage F), MP (lineage F) and NS (lineage 1E), are similar to segments that are conserved in avian viruses. It is also notable that the swine viruses that are subtype H3N2 have the same genotype, [A, D, B, 3A, A, 2A, B, 1A], as the human viruses. In fact, the swine genotype was transmitted from humans, and the genome sequences of the human and swine H3N2 subtypes were highly homologous to date [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">29</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>]. In 1998, the swine H3N2 virus reassorted with avian viruses and classic swine viruses to produce the novel triple reassortant with the genotype [C, D, E, 3A, A, 2A, A, 1A] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>]. The triple reassortants contain PB1 (lineage D), HA (lineage 3A), NP (lineage A), NA (lineage 2A) and NS (lineage 1A) from human H3N2 viruses; PB2 (lineage C) and PA (lineage E) from avian viruses and MP (lineage A) from classic swine viruses. The reassortants spread to subtypes H1N1 and H1N2 via reassortment with classic swine H1N1 viruses and, occasionally, with human H1N1 viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">34</xref>]. In April 2009, the first global pandemic in the 21st century broke out in Mexico and the USA, eventually forcing the WHO to increase the pandemic level to the final alert phase (phase 6). The pandemic was caused by a new reassortant originating from swine with the genotype [C, D, E, 1A, A, 1F, F, 1A]. Most of the gene segments of the 2009 S-OIV emerged from the triple-reassortant viruses (i.e., subtype H1N1), whereas NA (lineage 1F) and MP (lineage F) were derived from a Eurasian avian-like swine virus (i.e., subtype H1N1). This is an entirely new genotype that has not been previously observed, although a very similar genotype, [C, D, E, 1C, A, 1F, F, 1A], was found in a swine virus isolated in China in Jan, 2010 (see Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B35">35</xref>]. The latter was also reassorted from triple-reassortant swine viruses isolated in China in 2006 and Eurasian avian-like swine viruses in China, where the avian-like swine viruses provided HA (lineage 1C), NA (lineage 1F) and MP (lineage F). This further confirmed the inference that 2009 S-OIV was first produced about ten years ago.</p></sec><sec><title>Avian</title><p>Because avian species, including waterfowl and domestic poultry, are natural reservoirs for influenza viruses, genetic diversity is abundant and various genotypes are present in avian hosts, especially in waterfowl. Nevertheless, distinct patterns in the genotypes of avian species were clearly observed: [C, F, E/H, 4, H, 6, E, 1D/2B] for waterfowl and [K/G, G, D/E, 4, F, 6, F, 1E/1F/2A] for domestic poultry (see Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref> and Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>, <bold>Table S1</bold>). Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>, <bold>Table S1 </bold>shows genotypes and typical hosts for multiple subtypes of waterfowl and domestic poultry. For example, waterfowl such as mallard ducks and green-winged teals mainly have the waterfowl genotype pattern regardless of their serotypes. Interestingly, the domestic poultry genotype was present in the viruses of subtype H5N1 isolated from mallards. This may have been the result of bi-directional virus exchange [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>]. Similarly, most genotypes of chicken and duck viruses maintain the domestic poultry genotype pattern, whereas some of the viruses have waterfowl genotypes.</p></sec><sec><title>Conserved lineages and genotype codes</title><p>From genotype profiles, various conserved lineages of genotypes could be observed (see Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>). For example, lineage A for PB2 is conserved in human H1N1 viruses, whereas lineage B is conserved in classic swine, lineage C is conserved in waterfowl and lineage K/G is conserved in domestic poultry. It is not surprising that lineage C for PB2 could be found in triple-reassortant swine viruses and 2009 S-OIV because PB2 of these viruses emerged from avian viruses. We found that lineage H for NP and lineage E/F for MP are both conserved in avian viruses. Thus, if the lineages for the first three gene segments of the viruses are used, we may define "genotype codes" for human, swine and avian viruses. [B, A, C] is the genotype code for classic swine viruses, whereas [F, G, I] is for Eurasian avian-like swine viruses and [C, D, E] is for triple-reassortant swine viruses. The genotype code [A, A/D/E, A/B] for classic human viruses is somewhat complex due to their frequent reassortment. Actually, the dominant viruses of subtypes H1N1 and H3N2 have simple codes: [A, A, B] ([A, A, A] for H1N1 viruses in the 1930s and 1940s) and [A, D, B], respectively. It is not surprising that human 2009 S-OIV has the same [C, D, E] code as the triple-reassortant swine viruses. Similarly, the genotype codes for avian viruses are [C, F, E/H] and [K/G, G, D/E]. Using genotype codes, it becomes easy to classify candidate viruses. If the genotype code for a virus is [C, D, E], it is likely a triple-reassortant swine virus or human derivative like 2009 S-OIV. Similarly, it is obvious that [F, G, I] is Eurasian avian-like swine influenza A virus.</p></sec><sec><title>Detecting transmission and reassortment events</title><p>Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref> lists the potential transmission and reassortment events of human and swine influenza A viruses that belong to rare genotypes when genotype profiles are constructed. For example, the virus strain A/Brevig Mission/1/1918 (genotype [A, A, A, 1A, A, 1A, B, 1A]) is the oldest influenza virus that has been sequenced and was proposed to be transmitted from avian species [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>]. There are many avian genotypes in human and swine viruses, with serotypes varying from H5N1 to H9N2, all of which are the result of direct transmission across hosts. Bastien et al. isolated three strains (genotype [C, D, E, 1B, A, 1A, A, 1A]) in Canada that were the products of genetic reassortment between seasonal H1N1 and triple-reassortant influenza viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">37</xref>]. The genotype of 2009 S-OIV, [C, D, E, 1A, A, 1F, F, 1A] (see Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>), consists of gene segments that originate from the triple-reassortant virus, subtype H1N1 (genotype [C, D, E, 1A, A, 1B, A, 1A]), and Eurasian avian-like swine virus, subtype H1N1 (genotype [F, G, I, 1C, F, 1F, F, 1E]). Transmission and reassortment events are common for subtype H1N1 swine viruses, probably due to the co-occurrence of classic swine, avian-like swine and triple-reassortant swine viruses and swine is the intermediate host for reassortment. Reassortment between triple-reassortant swine or avian-like swine viruses with classic swine (H1N1) or human H1N1 viruses can all be observed. For avian species, transmission events across hosts also occur. The Avian Influenza Virus Sequencing Project operated by the USDA Agriculture Research Service reported transmission events of classic swine viruses (genotype [B, A, C, 1A, A, 1B, A, 1A]) and triple-reassortant swine viruses (genotype [C, D, E, 3A, A, 2A, A, 1A]), most of which were transmitted from swine to turkeys (data not shown). The latter was also confirmed by Olsen et al. in Canada [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B38">38</xref>]. Because avian viruses have complex genotypes and abundant genetic diversity, it is difficult to trace transmission and reassortment events among avian species. However, it is still possible to infer potential cases of transmission and reassortment between waterfowl and domestic poultry because their genotype patterns are different.</p></sec><sec><title>Comparing swine reassortment patterns with previous work</title><p>Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T3">3</xref> lists the reassortment events in swine influenza A viruses detected by Rabadan's method [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>] in the left part of the table. Most gene segments have one of the two swine-origin lineages (S1 and S2) except for some lineages being avian (A) or human (H) derived. Due to the mixed lineages of S1 and S2, the gene segments may be the result of reassortment. To our surprise, we found that most of the virus strains belonged to the classic swine, triple-reassortant swine and Eurasian avian-like swine virus groups when the results of the genotype profile method were analyzed. Rabadan's distance-based method was based on such a rule: the nucleotide differences at the third codon position between two segments of two strains should be proportional if the two segments have a common origin. A violation of this rule indicates that the co-occurrence of two segments may be the result of reassortment events. The rule will experience problems when the reference strains and segments for swine viruses are not selected carefully. For example, if a classic swine strain is set as the reference strain, then all triple-reassortant viruses will be classified as reassortants because some segments originate from classic swine viruses, whereas others do not. With regard to Eurasian avian-like swine viruses, which have no shared segments with the classic swine virus, their classification results would be uncertain and dependent on paired nucleotide differences. If the differences are proportional by chance, the viruses would be classified as descendants from the reference strain, or they may be classified as reassortants. For example, two Eurasian avian-like swine viruses (A/swine/Italy/1521/98 and A/swine/Cloppenburg/IDT4777/2005) with the genotype [F, G, I, 1B, F, 2A, F, 1E] are considered to have all classic swine lineages by Rabadan's method, whereas our method regards them as basic genotypes for Eurasian avian-like swine viruses that were possibly reassorted from Eurasian avian-like and triple-reassortant swine viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">39</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B40">40</xref>]. Another example, consider A/Swine/Indiana/9K035/99 and A/Swine/Minnesota/55551/00, which were reported to be new triple-reassortant swine viruses by Karasin et al [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B41">41</xref>]. However, Rabadan assumed that all gene segments except HA had the same lineages as classic swine. In fact, the H1N2 reassortant viruses were derived from traditional H3N2 triple reassortants and H1N1 classic swine viruses. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the results of genotype profile method (see Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>, <bold>Table S2 and </bold>Additional file <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>, <bold>Figure S1</bold>). These examples show that our method is easy to use and accurate for analyzing reassortment process, whereas the distance-based method has difficulty dealing with complex situations, although it does work in certain cases. In our opinion, genotypes of triple-reassortant and Eurasian avian-like swine viruses in genotype profiles can be considered transmission and reassortment events. Thus, genotypes such as [B, A, C, 1A, A, 2A, A, 1A] and [C, D, E, 2H, A, 3A, A, 1A] are true reassortants that can be determined by genotype profiles. However, for H1N1 strains belonging to the classic swine viruses, the genotype profile method could not identify whether they are reassortants because our method has difficulty inferring intra-subtype reassortment events within the same host, as will be discussed below.</p><table-wrap id="T3" position="float"><label>Table 3</label><caption><p>Comparing reassortment patterns in swine influenza A

following the real viral reassortment process. In fact, the phylogenetic analysis process is hidden under the definition and construction of genotypes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>]. As shown in Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>, lineages were defined as significant clusters (about 10% nucleotide difference by p-distance) in phylogenetic trees constructed by all viruses with full genomic sequences. There is no need to reconstruct the phylogenetic trees as long as the shape of the trees has not changed due to epidemiology and no novel lineage needs to be assigned. The determination of genotypes is then performed by finding a position for the virus in the established trees using a BLAST algorithm. The genotype profile method takes advantage of the phylogenetic algorithms' inferring from sequences, integrates epidemiology knowledge into genotype profiles and keeps the epidemiological interfaces for the users to assemble.</p><p>An application (see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>) called "Analysis Tool for <underline>I</underline>nfluenza A <underline>V</underline>irus <underline>E</underline>volutionary <underline>E</underline>vents (IVEE)" that implements genotype profile method is available for all academic users from the website <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://snptransformer.sourceforge.net">http://snptransformer.sourceforge.net</ext-link>.

The custom genotype profile function will be implemented in the next version, which allows the users to edit the genotype profiles to satisfy various research demands such as updating the newly-discovered genotypes and studying the historic reassortment events. Furthermore, each genotype will be associated with a representative virus strain to help read the analysis results.</p><fig id="F2" position="float"><label>Figure 2</label><caption><p><bold>Screenshot of IVEE</bold>.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="1743-422X-8-395-2"></graphic></fig><p>The genotype profile based method still had limitations when inferring intra-subtype reassortment within the same host. For example, nearly all human H3N2 viruses have the genotype [A, D, B, 3A, A, 2A, B, 1A], which restrains distinguishing intra-subtype reassortment events as Holmes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>] and Nelson have done [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]. The reason is that a cutoff of a 10% nucleotide difference by p-distance for defining lineages in the phylogenetic tree is too coarse to distinguish some virus clades among subtypes, although it is sufficient for inter-subtype reassortment. One possible solution is to define clades under lineages by FluGenome with lower cutoffs such as 1%. In fact, the WHO/OIE/FAO H5N1 Evolution Working Group has developed a web tool for HPAI H5N1 HA clade prediction <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://h5n1.flugenome.org">http://h5n1.flugenome.org</ext-link> based on FluGenome with average distances of ≧1.5% between clades. The tool and its unified nomenclature system for the HA clade designation of HPAI H5N1 viral strains were used later to facilitate resolution of the nomenclature problem and to make comparisons among virus clades easier across publications. However, the clade designation was designed only for HA without taking into account other gene segments. We suggest that a similar international committee should be established to assign unified clades for all segments of influenza A viruses. This will greatly help research and increase our knowledge of the evolutionary tendency of influenza A viruses.</p></sec></sec></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>In conclusion, we extended the concept of "genotype" to "genotype profile" to describe classic or dominant virus strains and constructed the genotype profiles for influenza A viruses of humans, swine and avian species. Genotype profiles not only decrease the complexity of combinations of hundreds of genotypes but also provide epidemiological information of influenza A viruses for the analysis. With genotype profile method, the analysis of reassortment and transmission events is a simple and reliable process that combines genotypes. We detected various transmission and reassortment events from rare genotypes stored in FluGenome and found that one previous summary of the reassortment events in swine influenza A viruses may be inaccurate. Using genotype profile method, surveillance for virus transmission and reassortment becomes straightforward and it's possible to setup an automatic surveillance system for detecting such evolutionary events.</p></sec><sec><title>Competing interests</title><p>The authors declare that they have no competing interests.</p></sec><sec><title>Authors' contributions</title><p>CD conceived and designed the study.
