The Human Respiratory Virome in Health and Disease: Interactions, Dysbiosis, and Methodological Challenges

Advanced Genetics, Volume 6, Issue 4, December 2025.
This article examines how the respiratory virome contributes to health and disease, highlighting its interactions with the host and bacteriome. Key disease associations and present knowledge gaps are outlined. The review discusses challenges in sample collection and preprocessing, and presents future research directions for understanding virome ...

Evolutionary Genetics of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility Genes cifA and cifB in Prophage WO of Wolbachia

bioRxiv, 2017
The bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia manipulates arthropod reproduction to facilitate its maternal spread through populations. The most common manipulation is cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI): Wolbachia-infected males produce modified sperm that cause ...

Characterization of a Prophage-Free Derivative Strain of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis IL1403 Reveals the Importance of Prophages for Phenotypic Plasticity of the Host

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium of major importance for the dairy industry and for human health. Recent sequencing surveys of this species have provided evidence that all lactococcal genomes contain prophages and prophage-like elements. The

ProphET, prophage estimation tool: A stand-alone prophage sequence prediction tool with self-updating reference database

PLoS ONE, 2019
Background Prophages play a significant role in prokaryotic evolution, often altering the function of the cell that they infect via transfer of new genes e.g., virulence or antibiotic resistance factors, inactivation of existing genes or by modifying ...

Investigating Potential Chromosomal Rearrangements during Laboratory Culture of Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Microorganisms, 2018
Comparisons of genome sequence data between different strains and isolates of Neisseria spp., such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, reveal that over the evolutionary history of these organisms, large scale chromosomal rearrangements have occurred.
