+# Dataset Description 
+
+
+## Dataset Summary
+
+This dataset was derived from the Los Alamos National Laboratory HIV sequence (LANL) database. 
+It contains 5,510 unique V3 sequences, each annotated with its corresponding bodysite that it was associated with. 
+Supported Tasks and Leaderboards: None 
+
+Languages: English 
+ 
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+Data Instances: Each column represents the protein amino acid sequence of the HIV V3 loop. 
+The ID field indicates the Genbank reference ID for future cross-referencing. 
+There are 2,935 total V3 sequences, with 91% being CCR5 tropic and 23% CXCR4 tropic. 
+Data Fields: ID, sequence, fold, periphery-tcell, periphery-monocyte, CNS, lung, breast-milk, gastric, male-genitals, female-genitals, umbilical-cord, organ
+Data Splits: None 
+ 
+## Dataset Creation
+
+Curation Rationale: 
+
+Initial Data Collection and Normalization: Dataset was downloaded and curated on 12/20/2021.  
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+Social Impact of Dataset: This dataset can be used to study the mechanism by which HIV V3 loops allow for study of HIV compartmentalization. 
+
+Discussion of Biases: DDue 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. 
+Additionally, this dataset is highly biased to peripheral T-cells.
