  1. aThe mutation to the right of the amino acid position confers the phenotype described below.
  2. bThe HA gene was under the H3 numbering system. The NA gene was under the N2 numbering system. Other internal genes were numbered from the start codon (Met).
  3. All letters in italics represent mutations detected at the relative position.
