Experimental overview.

(A) Human H3N2 or H1N1 virus sequences were downloaded from the Influenza Research Database and subset into two time periods each: 1995 to 2004 and 2005 to 2014 (H3N2 viruses); 2000 to 2008 and 2010 to 2018 (H1N1 viruses). The H3N2 virus dataset (1995 to 2004) is illustrated here. All eight viral RNA (vRNA) segments from each strain were concatenated into a full-length genome from which alignments were made. (B) A species tree was built clustering strains into operational taxonomic unit with at least 97% sequence identity. Arrowheads denote clusters 1–12. Seven replicate strains were randomly selected from each cluster for further analysis. (C) Full-length genomic sequences were partitioned into individual vRNA gene sequence alignments and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees were reconstructed from each vRNA gene segment in each replicate. Tree similarity was determined by the Robinson-Foulds distance (RF) and clustering information distance (CID) in each pair of trees. Left, a pair of highly similar trees with a low tree distance plotted in a tanglegram (e.g. back-to-back trees), with intersecting blue lines matching tips. Right, a tanglegram of a pair of dissimilar trees with a high tree distance. Scale bars indicate substitutions per site. (D) Colocalization of vRNA segments exhibiting high and low tree similarity were assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Cells were infected with viruses representative of those analyzed in (A–C) and fixed and stained with FISH probes specific for vRNA segments of interest. Cells were imaged using confocal microscopy and colocalization between vRNA segments was quantified.

Parallel evolution between viral RNA (vRNA) segments varies in H3N2 viruses from 2005 to 2014.

Seven replicate maximum-likelihood trees were reconstructed for each vRNA gene segment from human H3N2 virus sequences (2005 to 2014) as described in Figure 1. (A–B) Highly similar (PB1 and PA gene segments) (A) or dissimilar (PB1 and HA gene segments) trees (B) from replicate one were plotted as tanglegrams with discrepancies in branch topology highlighted in green. Robinson-Foulds distances (RF) and clustering information distances (CID) are shown above the tanglegram. Intersecting lines map leaves on the left tree to the corresponding leaves on the right. Strains are coded by cluster number; strain identities can be found in Supplementary file 2. Bootstrap values greater than 70 are shown in red. Scale bars indicate substitutions per site. (C) Pairwise RF were calculated between each pair of trees in each replicate. Mean tree distances were visualized in a heatmap. Refer to Figure 2—figure supplement 1 for the standard error of the mean RF of each pair of trees.

Null distribution of Robinson-Foulds distances (RF).

(A) The null distribution of RF in sets of 1000 randomly sampled, unrooted trees with either 8 (gray diamonds, corresponding to the number of tips in tree distance networks), 9 (gray squares, the number of tips in each H1N1 tree), or 12 (black circles, the number of tips in each H3N2 tree) leaf tips was determined. A dashed line demarcates the threshold for the 95% confidence interval. (B–D) The null distributions shown in (A) were log-transformed (B, C) or Yeo-Johnson-transformed (Yeo and Johnson, 2000) (D) and fit to a linear regression model to establish the cutoff for the first five percentiles (shaded region), which was set as the 95% confidence interval cutoff. The distance at which 95% confidence is exceeded is indicated.

Colocalization of viral RNA (vRNA) segments at the nuclear periphery correlates with evolutionary relationships during productive viral infection.

A549 cells were infected with A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2) at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 2 or mock-infected. Cells were fixed at 8 hr post-infection and combination fluorescence in situ hybridization/immunofluorescence (FISH and IF, respectively) was performed.
