The human gut is colonised by a vast array of microbes that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea. While interest in these microbial entities has largely focused on the bacterial constituents, recently the viral component has attracted more ...

Urinary Tract Virome as an Urgent Target for Metagenomics
Virome—a part of a microbiome—is a term used to describe all viruses found in the specific organism or system. Recently, as new technologies emerged, it has been confirmed that kidneys and the lower urinary tract are colonized not only by the previously ...

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 ...

The core phageome and its interrelationship with preterm human milk lipids
Phages and lipids in human milk (HM) may benefit preterm infant health by preventing gastrointestinal pathobiont overgrowth and microbiome modulation. Lipid association may promote vertical transmission of phages to the infant. Despite this, interrelationships between lipids and phages are poorly characterized in preterm HM.

Functional annotation of rhizospheric phageome of the wild plant species Moringa oleifera
IntroductionThe study aims to describe phageome of soil rhizosphere of M.oleifera in terms of the genes encoding CAZymes and other KEGG enzymes.MethodsGenes of the rhizospheric virome of the wild plant species Moringa oleifera were investigated for their ability to encode useful CAZymes and other KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) enzymes ...

Enteric phageome alternations in Type 2 diabetes disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic disease and has been proved to involve in the alternation of the gut microbiota. The previous studies primarily focused on the changes in bacteriome while ignoring the phage community composition.

Decoding the human phageome helps to unravel microbial dynamics in health and disease. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bacteriophages are the most abundant biological entities on Earth—equally abundant within the human body. Their potential impacts on host function and homeostasis are becoming increasingly important in biomedical and microbiological research.
