Profiling of Human Gut Virome with Oxford Nanopore Technology
Medicine in Microecology, 2020 Human gut virome play critical roles in maintaining gut microbial composition and functionality, as well as host physiology and immunology. Yet, there are insufficient amount of studies on this topic mainly due to methodological limitations, including ...

Dynamic changes occur in the DNA gut virome of female cynomolgus macaques during aging
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 Aging is a critical factor affecting physical health and disease in mammals. Emerging evidence indicates that aging may affect the gut bacteriome in cynomolgus macaques, but little is known about whether or how the gut virome changes with age.

Phages and human health: More than idle hitchhikers [PDF]
, 2019 Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea. Phages have diverse morphologies and can be coded in DNA or RNA and as single or double strands with a large range of genome sizes. With the increasing use of metagenomic sequencing

ΦCrAss001 represents the most abundant bacteriophage family in the human gut and infects Bacteroides intestinalis [PDF]
, 2018 peer-reviewedCrAssphages are an extensive and ubiquitous family of tailed bacteriophages, predicted to infect bacteria of the order Bacteroidales. Despite being found in ~50% of individuals and representing up to 90% of human gut viromes, members of this

The gut virome and the relevance of temperate phages in human health
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Alterations in the gut virome impact human health. Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, dominate the gut virome and are mainly composed by virulent and temperate phages. While virulent phages exclusively replicate within and lyse their bacterial

Amniotic fluid from healthy term pregnancies does not harbor a detectable microbial community [PDF]
, 2018 Recent studies have conflicting data regarding the presence of intra-amniotic microbiota. Viral communities are increasingly recognized as important although overlooked components of the human microbiota.

Urinary virome perturbations in kidney transplantation [PDF]
, 2018 The human microbiome is important for health and plays a role in essential metabolic functions and protection from certain pathogens. Conversely, dysbiosis of the microbiome is seen in the context of various diseases. Recent studies have highlighted that

Gut Inflammation and Immunity: What Is the Role of the Human Gut Virome?
Mediators of Inflammation, 2015 The human virome comprises viruses that infect host cells, virus-derived elements in our chromosomes, and viruses that infect other organisms, including bacteriophages and plant viruses.
