Viral communities of the human gut: metagenomic analysis of composition and dynamics
Abstract Background The numerically most abundant biological entities on Earth are viruses. Vast populations prey on the cellular microbiota in all habitats, including the human gut. Main body Here we review approaches for studying the human virome, and some recent results on movement of viral seque...
