Files contain in the ice_nucleation.zip are experimental results for all freezing assay experiments shown in the main manuscript and supporting information. Filenames have the format: Data_YYMMDD_VIRU_name_cdXXXXXXXX where: YYMMDD is the date the experiment was run (not important for the result, just how the data file is outputted) name = 4 character code for the virus species cd = 'cell density'. May also be listed as md for 'mass density'. XXXXXX = A numeric value which is either the cell density or mass density in units pfu/ml or mg/ml for cd and md respectively Within these files are four columns: Temperature, INP/L, Fraction Frozen and K. INP/L is always zero (another feature of how the data is outputted and not important here) Exceptions are the 'K-phosphate buffer.csv. and 'Salinebuffer.csv' files which have columns 'Temperature' and 'Fraction frozen' (there are no columns headers, sorry!). If there are any questions about the data, please email Mike Adams (m.p.adams@leeds.ac.uk) :)
