The nucleotide sequences for analysis were taken from the database (NCBI). Using the MEGA6 cluster analysis program and calculating genetic distances using the ClustalW algorithm for the coding sequences of the nucleotides of the HA, NA and NP-protein genes, determinations were made on a sample of influenza strains A. Determination of single nucleotide substitutions at positions with mutations was performed using the Flusurver program. The construction of the dendrogram was carried out using the UPGM group pairwise clustering method, the reliability was calculated using the but-strep analysis. The variability of the neurominidase, hemagglutinin, and nucleoprotein genes was determined by local sequence alignment using the Smith – Waterman algorithm of the VectorNTI-11 program. Consensus sequences (СS) for HA, NA and NP-genes were formed; common conservative areas (motives) were found. The analysis of viral nucleic acids on the variability of the genetic markers of the avian influenza virus HA, NA and NP, coding the virulence factors in the H1N1 and H7N9 subtypes, showed genetic variability (variability) of the hemagglutinin and neurominidase genes. <br /> A sample of gene sequences showed that the HA genes of the avian influenza virus have more interstitial polymorphism than the NA and NP protein genes. Genetic markers of high variability are the H1N1 subtype hemagglutinin genes and the NA genes in the H7N9 subtype. The article analyzes the structural features of the genes of surface proteins and nucleoproteins of influenza viruses AH1N1 and AH7N9. A certain degree of synonymity of nucleotide substitutions is determined. The relationship between the distribution of nucleotide polymorphism and indicators of synonymous and non-synonymous substitutions is established. The high variability of the NA gene, and somewhat less NA, determines the ability of the avian influenza virus, in particular its highly virulent strain H1N1 and less virulent H7N9, to overcome the interspecific barrier, whereas the replication factor encoded by the NP gene is less important for overcoming the interspecies barrier, which causes its low compared with ON and NA variability.</p>}, number={6 (15)}, journal={ScienceRise: Biological Science}, author={Buriachenko, Semen}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={4–9} }
