| Abstract |
This month marks 40 years since the publication of 'Nucleotide sequence heterogeneity of an RNA phage population' in Cell. We spoke with Esteban Domingo, leading author of this landmark study carried out during his postdoctoral work in Charles Weissman's lab, which proposed RNA viral populations to be quasispecies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 24. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 May 2019.
All research outputs
#1,616,082
of 25,732,188 outputs
Outputs from Nature Microbiology
#1,266
of 2,078 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#34,404
of 345,684 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Microbiology
#28
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,732,188 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,078 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 94.9. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 345,684 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
