*The lineage-defining amino acids within each viral protein are detailed. This description provides the location of the amino acid using the genome coordinates hRSV/A/England/397/2017 (lineage A.D.2.2.1, National Center for Biotechnology Information Virus accession no. PP109421.1, GISAID EpiRSV accession no. EPI_ISL_412866), followed by the amino acid found in the parental lineage in parentheses. Finally, the amino acid substitution that drives it to become a lineage is specified. X represents an amino acid deletion. NS, nonstructural protein; N, nucleocapsid; P, phosphoprotein; M, matrix protein; SH, small hydrophobic protein; G, attachment glycoprotein; F, fusion glycoprotein; M2, M2 protein; L, large polymerase protein †Amino acid changes detected in not all but >90% of the lineage sequences.
