The Human Virome: Viral Metagenomics, Relations with Human Diseases, and Therapeutic Applications
Viruses, 2022 The human body is colonized by a wide range of microorganisms. The field of viromics has expanded since the first reports on the detection of viruses via metagenomic sequencing in 2002. With the continued development of reference materials and databases,

Impact of HIV infection and integrase strand transfer inhibitors-based treatment on the gut virome
Scientific Reports, 2022 Viruses are the most abundant components of the human gut microbiome with a significant impact on health and disease. The effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on gut virome has been scarcely analysed.
