*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/B/AUS/VIC-RCH056/2019 (lineage B.D.4.1.1, National Center for Biotechnology Information Virus (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/virus) accession no. OP975389.1, GISAID EpiRSV (https://www.gisaid.org) accession no. EPI_ISL_1653999), 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.
