We downloaded SRA assemblies of cattle H5N1 genes from BV-BRC on June 13, 2024. These strains were merged with the previously published B3.13 strains and the duplicates were removed. This resulted in n=367 whole genome B3.13 sequences, 334 of which were from cattle.
-
We built a WGS phylogeny from the concatenated whole genome sequences using IQ-Tree 2 as follows
iqtree2 -s combined.aln -spp iqtree.partitions.nexus -B 1000 -bnni -redo
mv iqtree.partitions.nexus.treefile cattle.all.wgs.tre
- We built a consensus WGS of cattle strains using smof.
cat combined.aln | smof grep "cattle" | smof consensus > cattle.consensus.fasta
And compared the A/dairy_cattle/Texas/24-008749-002/2024
genome with the consensus genome in UGENE.
- We evaluated the representativity of
A/dairy_cattle/Texas/24-008749-002/2024
using PARNAS.
