Intergenotypic Entropy Metrics Across HPV Genes

Gene-level entropy summaries derived from consensus alignments across Human Papillomavirus genotypes. The dataset includes mean entropy, median entropy, interquartile range, median absolute deviation, and percentages of conserved and highly variable positions. Author Alan López Leal published the 9.8 KB XLSX file on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Compare genetic variability across HPV genotypes based on entropy metrics.
• Identify conserved genomic regions across HPV strains using percentages of conserved positions.
• Assess the stability of viral genes based on median absolute deviation and interquartile range of entropy.
• Prioritize vaccine or diagnostic targets by analyzing highly variable positions.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 9.8 KB, making it quick to download and inspect.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-05-15 17:42:05.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
