Human-Gut-DNA Virome Variations across Geography, Ethnicity, and Urbanization [PDF]
The human-gut-DNA virome is highly diverse and individual specific, but little is known of its variation at a population level. Here, we report the fecal DNA virome of 930 healthy adult subjects from two regions in China (Hong Kong and Yunnan) spanning six ethnicities (Han, Zang, Miao, Bai, Dai, and Hani), and including urban and rural residents for ...

The human gut microbiota and virome: Potential therapeutic implications [PDF]
Human gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem with several functions integrated in the host organism (metabolic, immune, nutrients absorption, etc.). Human microbiota is composed by bacteria, yeasts, fungi and, last but not least, viruses, whose composition has not been completely described. According to previous evidence on pathogenic viruses, the human

Early life dynamics of the human gut virome and bacterial microbiome in infants [PDF]
The early years of life are important for immune development and influence health in adulthood. Although it has been established that the gut bacterial microbiome is rapidly acquired after birth, less is known about the viral microbiome (or 'virome'), consisting of bacteriophages and eukaryotic RNA and DNA viruses, during the first years of life. Here,

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 ...

Dynamic changes occur in the DNA gut virome of female cynomolgus macaques during aging
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.

DOP53 Community types of the human gut virome are associated with endoscopic outcome in UC patients
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a group of chronic inflammatory diseases of the gut. The pathophysiology is unknown; however, it is thought to result from an inappropriate immune reaction to the commensal gut microbiota. Community-typing is a

The gut virome: the ‘missing link’ between gut bacteria and host immunity?
The human gut virome includes a diverse collection of viruses that infect our own cells as well as other commensal organisms, directly impacting on our well-being. Despite its predominance, the virome remains one of the least understood components of the

Community types of the human gut virome are associated with endoscopic outcome in ulcerative colitis
Objective IBD patients have an altered gut virome composition; however, the relationship to disease is unknown. Our aim is to investigate the existence of viral community types and assess the impact of therapeutic outcome (and other covariates) on the ...

The Human Virome: Viral Metagenomics, Relations with Human Diseases, and Therapeutic Applications
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,
