The zip file contains 4 files:

• README.TXT
• n1505_acuteC_env.fasta (all sequences, including consensus for each patient)
• n69_patientConsensuses.fasta (just the consensus sequence for each patient)
• n1505_acuteC_env.csv

Sequences correspond to accession numbers FJ443128-FJ444632.

Additional details are explained in the README file.
