What is EP1295501?
A is the strain
Pennsylvania is the location of the case
17 must be the number of the case
2010 is the yr
I don't understand the rest.
Do they all read like a map in the list tracking transmission? (So sorry for being so ignorant of all this

). -k
EPI1295501 is the accession number
A/H1N1 is the serotype
swl is the lineage - "swl" stands for swine-like, which is science for pandemic H1N1
segment 4 is HA
HA is hemagglutinin
The numbers at the end have to do with the strengency of the search
Those is a given list are all sequences in the database that share a given polymorphism ("mutation") as well as identity adjacent to the "mutation".
