Altered human gut virome in patients undergoing antibiotics therapy for Helicobacter pylori
Nature Communications, 2023 Transient gut microbiota alterations have been reported after antibiotic therapy for Helicobacter pylori. However, alteration in the gut virome after H. pylori eradication remains uncertain. Here, we apply metagenomic sequencing to fecal samples of 44 H.

Rapid evolution of the human gut virome [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Humans are colonized by immense populations of viruses, which metagenomic analysis shows are mostly unique to each individual. To investigate the origin and evolution of the human gut virome, we analyzed the viral community of one adult individual over 2.5 y by extremely deep metagenomic sequencing (56 billion bases of purified viral ...

Comparative analysis of gut DNA viromes in wild and captive Himalayan vultures
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionHimalayan vultures (Gyps hinalayensis) are widely distributed on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance by feeding on decayed corpses of wild and domestic animals.

Metagenomic-based characterization of the gut virome in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disease that afflicts women of reproductive age, and its pathological mechanism has not been well explained. The gut microbiota is believed to be closely related to the development of PCOS. Although

Beyond Just Bacteria: Functional Biomes in the Gut Ecosystem Including Virome, Mycobiome, Archaeome and Helminths [PDF]
, 2020 Gut microbiota refers to a complex network of microbes, which exerts a marked influence on the host's health. It is composed of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and helminths.

Hypervariable loci in the human gut virome [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Genetic variation is critical in microbial immune evasion and drug resistance, but variation has rarely been studied in complex heterogeneous communities such as the human microbiome. To begin to study natural variation, we analyzed DNA viruses present in the lower gastrointestinal tract of 12 human volunteers by determining 48 billion bases of viral ...

The gut virome in two indigenous populations from Malaysia
Scientific Reports, 2022 The human gut contains a complex microbiota dominated by bacteriophages but also containing other viruses and bacteria and fungi. There are a growing number of techniques for the extraction, sequencing, and analysis of the virome but currently no ...

Putting the Virome on the Map: The Influence of Host Geography and Ethnicity on the Gut Virome [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2020 We know little about factors that ordain the composition of the diverse community of viruses (virome) in the human gut. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Zuo et al. highlight the importance of geography, urbanization, ethnicity, and diet on the shape of the adult gut DNA virome.
