          The H7N9 human cases are related at the polymorphism level to widely circulating human virus patterns including pH1N1, sH3N2 and human H5N1. Each component of the H7N9 human cases carries sub-segment genetics that have seen mammalian adaptation, including the external proteins, Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase.

          A comprehensive evaluation for each HA polymorphism found on the 3 human H7N9 sequences was provided yesterday, demonstrating the Cross Serotype Homology details.
