RNA was isolated from egg allantoic fluid using the E.Z.N.A. viral RNA extraction kit (Omega Bio-Tek) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and then underwent next-generation sequencing. Sequences were assembled using a pipeline designed at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai as described previously (42 (link)). To identify point mutations, full-length coding sequences were compared to the sequenced wild-type A/Netherlands/602/2009 (H1N1)pdm09 strain used for escape mutagenesis. All reported mutations were numbered from the methionine of each protein.
