+Dataset Description 
+
+
+Dataset Summary
+
+ This dataset was derived from the Los Alamos National Laboratory HIV sequence (LANL) database.
+ It contains the most recent version (2016-Full-genome), composed of 1,609 high-quality full-length genomes.
+ The genes within these sequences were processed using the GeneCutter tool and translated into corresponding amino acid sequences using the BioPython library Seq.translate function. 
+
+Supported Tasks and Leaderboards: None 
+
+Languages: English 
+ 
+Dataset Structure
+
+Data Instances
+Each column represents the protein amino acid sequence of the HIV genome. 
+The ID field indicates the Genbank reference ID for future cross-referencing. 
+There are 1,609 full length HIV genomes. 
+
+Data Fields: ID, gag, pol, env, nef, tat, rev, proteome 
+
+Data Splits: None 
+ 
+Dataset Creation
+
+Curation Rationale: This dataset was curated to train a model (HIV-BERT) designed to predict a variety of sequence-dependent features regarding HIV.  
+
+Initial Data Collection and Normalization: Dataset was downloaded and curated on 12/21/2021. 
+
+Considerations for Using the Data
+
+Social Impact of Dataset: This dataset can be used to study sequence-dependent features of HIV, a virus that has claimed the lives of many individuals globally in the last few decades.  
+
+Discussion of Biases: This dataset was derived from the Los Alamos National Laboratory HIV sequence (LANL) database full genome database and contains a representative sample from each subtype and geographic region.
