  1. aThe relative abundance of epitopes (combined by five antigenic sites) are generated from epitope sequence variation in reported strains every year. Dominant epitopes are listed with relative abundance above 15% in the yearly reported data during 1999–2014.
  2. bThe predicted combination rank of five sites are for Ca1, Ca2, Cb, Sa, Sb, respectively. Only mutants falling within top100 are recorded, otherwise represented by ‘--’.
  3. cThe combination rank during 1999–2006 are predicted by template A/New Caledonia/20/1999.
  4. dThe combination rank during 2007–2008 are predicted by template A/Solomon Islands/3/2006.
  5. eThe combination rank during 2009-2014 are predicted by template A/California/7/2009.
