A Global Overview of H5N1 Influenza A Virus Protein Distribution and Temporal Trends Using Genomic Metadata and Visualization

This dataset provides a comprehensive collection of <b>H5N1 Influenza A virus</b> protein sequences, organized by protein type (HA, NA, NP, PA, PB1, PB2, M1, M2, NS1, NS2).Each protein folder contains:Individual FASTA files for each sequence.QC reports (.txt) with sequence metrics.Metadata (.tsv) including sequence ID, full header, description, length, GC content, and ambiguous bases.Panel plots (.png) and count files (.txt) visualizing the distribution of sequences by city, year, and country.This dataset is for my journal article.

Some entries may originate from other viruses or organisms (e.g., bacterial hemagglutinin-like proteins or paramyxovirus sequences) if their headers contained matching keywords.Users are advised to <b>treat the dataset with caution</b> and verify sequences before downstream analyses. Future versions of the dataset will include a stricter filter to retain <b>only authentic H5N1 sequences</b>, ensuring accurate protein assignment.
