48—stable human virome

New research by Andrey Shkoporov and colleagues at APC Microbiome in Ireland has shown using longitudinal metagenomics that the human gut virome is actually very stable in individuals, but that each individual tested had their own unique virome. Plus, they identified several groups of crAss-like and Microviridae phages as the most stable human gut colonizers, and were able to find connections between stable viral communities and gut bacteria using CRISPR-based prediction.
