The gut virome: A new microbiome component in health and disease
Summary: The human gastrointestinal tract harbours an abundance of viruses, collectively known as the gut virome. The gut virome is highly heterogeneous across populations and is linked to geography, ethnicity, diet, lifestyle, and urbanisation.

Stability of the human gut virome and effect of gluten-free diet
Summary: The human gut microbiome consists of bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes, and viruses. The gut viruses are relatively underexplored. Here, we longitudinally analyzed the gut virome composition in 11 healthy adults: its stability, variation, and the ...

Dysbiosis of fecal virome in pediatric Crohn's disease and its dynamic changes during infliximab therapy. [PDF]
The gut virome is an emerging but underexplored component of the human microbiota, especially in pediatric Crohn’s disease (CD). This study aimed to characterize the fecal virome in children with CD and evaluate its association with clinical response to ...

A Previously Undescribed Highly Prevalent Phage Identified in a Danish Enteric Virome Catalog
Gut viruses are important, yet often neglected, players in the complex human gut microbial ecosystem. Recently, the number of human gut virome studies has been increasing; however, we are still only scratching the surface of the immense viral diversity ...

The gut virome in two indigenous populations from Malaysia
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 ...

Varidnaviruses in the Human Gut: A Major Expansion of the Order Vinavirales
Bacteriophages play key roles in the dynamics of the human microbiome. By far the most abundant components of the human gut virome are tailed bacteriophages of the realm Duplodnaviria, in particular, crAss-like phages. However, apart from duplodnaviruses,

Virome Sequencing of the Human Intestinal Mucosal–Luminal Interface
While the human gut virome has been increasingly explored in recent years, nearly all studies have been limited to fecal sampling. The mucosal–luminal interface has been established as a viable sample type for profiling the microbial biogeography of the ...
