Luis Camarillo-Guerrero (Wellcome Sanger Insititute) and colleagues published a paper on the prevalence of viral diversity in the human gut, along with a new Gut Phage Database (142,809 non-redundant gut phage genomes from 28,060 metagenomes!). They confirmed distribution of huge viral clusters on different continents featuring p-crAssphage characteristics, corroborating the human lifestyle-associated global variation in the gut phageome.
