HERV Loci Summary Across Six Immune Cell Types

A dataset summarizing positive HERV loci across individual samples for six immune cell types: B cells, CD4+, CD8+, NK cells, dendritic cells, and CD14+ monocytes. The data was authored by Hyunmin Koo and last updated on 2026-05-19. The rightmost column counts were used to identify the top 10 loci featured in a related scientific figure.

Use Cases

• Identify the most frequently expressed HERV loci based on the 'counts' column mentioned in the description
• Compare HERV expression profiles across the six listed immune cell types (B, CD4+, CD8+, NK, DC, CD14+ monocytes)
• Validate or reproduce the analysis of top loci referenced in the associated scientific publication

Strengths

• Data is focused on a specific biological question involving six distinct immune cell types
• The dataset is small (71.4 KB), facilitating quick download and initial inspection
• It is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Row and column counts are unknown, making it difficult to assess the dataset's scale
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection
