Discovery of an expansive bacteriophage family that includes the most abundant viruses from the human gut
2017
Nature Microbiology
Metagenomic sequence analysis is rapidly becoming the primary source of virus discovery 1-3 . A substantial majority of the currently available virus genomes comes from metagenomics, and some of these represent extremely abundant viruses even if never grown in the laboratory. A particularly striking case of a virus discovered via metagenomics is crAssphage, which is by far the most abundant human-associated virus known, comprising up to 90% of the sequences in the gut virome 4 . Over 80% of the
