Michael Shamash (McGill University) and colleagues published a new preprint on improving gut virome comparisons, showing that incorporating predicted phage host information enhances the analysis and comparison of gut viromes across differen

Tamsin Redgwell (Copenhagen University Hospital) and colleagues published a new paper on prophage induction in infant gut microbiomes, showing most prophages were actively induced and may modulate host bacterial functionality through access

It's hard to compare results across human gut virome studies. Michael Shamash (McGill University, Canada) and colleagues show that using 'predicted phage host families' can improve cross-study virome analyses and help detect disease-specifi

Michael Shamash, a gut phageome PhD student at McGill University, explores the influence of gut phages on the human microbiome and their potential impact on health in a podcast interview with Justine Dees at the Joyful Microbe.

Michael Shamash (McGill University) and colleagues published a new paper in The ISME Journal describing phages in the infant gut: a framework for virome development during early life.

Shiraz Shah (Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark) and colleagues published a new paper in bioRxiv showing hundreds of viral families in the healthy infant gut. These results were obtained from sequencing and analysing fecal viromes from

The Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB), based in Norwich, UK is hiring a Virome Research Scientist to study the intestinal virome and understanding the diversity and impact of viruses at key life stages during human development. The success

Michael Shamash (McGill University, Canada) and colleagues published a perspective in ISME Journal on phages in the infant gut. They propose a theoretical framework governing early childhood gut virome assembly and development, which depend

Lorraine Draper (APC Microbiome Ireland) and colleagues published a new paper in BMC Biology showing the impact of faecal viral transfer (FVT) on the mouse microbiome after antibiotic perturbation. They saw that FVT helped the mice get back

Tao Zuo (The Chinese University of Hong Kong) and collegues published a new paper in Cell Host & Microbe on the fecal DNA virome of 930 healthy adults from two regions in China spanning six ethnicities, including urban and rural residents.

Germán Bonilla-Rosso (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) and colleagues published a new paper in PNAS on the honey bee gut virome. They show that a diverse community of phages inhabits the bee gut, that these phages target core bee gut ba

Wondering about the infective capacity of the phages that make up the gut viromes you're analyzing? Ling Deng (Univ. of Copenhagen) and colleagues have developed an efficient protocol for the extraction of infective viruses from low volume

A new virome twin study! J. Leonardo Moreno-Gallego and colleagues show that virome and microbiome diversity correlate, and in contrast to a prior study, adult twins DO have more similar viromes than unrelated individuals. They suggest that
