Amino acid annotation follows the format “X122Y,” where X = reference, Y = signature, number = position from beginning of G‐ORF. Signature amino acids are defined against the consensus sequence of GA1 for RSV‐A and GB1 for RSV‐B. “Main” amino acid signatures are in bold, “secondary” changes are in italics. Substitutions in square brackets are needed in combination to be considered as signature amino acids.

alternative position for this deletion: P159‐K160del.

*

Substitutions located within the duplication region of the G gene (72nt in RSV‐A or 60nt in RSV‐B). For these substitutions, the positions were described using strains JN257693_CAN_2010 (RSV‐A) and DQ227364_ARG_1999 (RSV‐B) as reference sequences.
