+# Dataset Description 
+
+
+## Dataset Summary
+
+This dataset was derived from the Stanford HIV Genotype-Phenotype database and contains 1,733 HIV protease sequences. A
+pproximately half of the sequences are resistant to at least one antiretroviral therapeutic (ART).  
+
+Supported Tasks and Leaderboards: None 
+
+Languages: English 
+ 
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+Each column represents the protein amino acid sequence of the HIV protease protein. The ID field indicates the Genbank reference ID for future cross-referencing. There are 1,733 total protease sequences. 
+
+Data Fields: ID, sequence, fold, FPV, IDV, NFV, SQV 
+
+Data Splits: None 
+ 
+## Dataset Creation
+
+Curation Rationale: This dataset was curated to train a model (HIV-BERT-PI) designed to predict whether an HIV protease sequence would result in resistance to certain antiretroviral (ART) drugs. 
+
+Initial Data Collection and Normalization: Dataset was downloaded and curated on 12/21/2021. 
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+Social Impact of Dataset: Due to the tendency of HIV to mutate, drug resistance is a common issue when attempting to treat those infected with HIV. 
+Protease inhibitors are a class of drugs that HIV is known to develop resistance via mutations. 
+Thus, by providing a collection of protease sequences known to be resistant to one or more drugs, this dataset provides a significant collection of data that could be utilized to perform computational analysis of protease resistance mutations. 
+
+Discussion of Biases: Due to the sampling nature of this database, it is predominantly composed of subtype B sequences from North America and Europe with only minor contributions of Subtype C, A, and D. 
+Currently, there was no effort made to balance the performance across these classes. 
+As such, one should consider refinement with additional sequences to perform well on non-B sequences.
