Gut virome of mammals and birds reveals high genetic diversity of the family Microviridae
1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Nineteen families of phages infecting bacteria or archaea are currently recognized by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). Of these, only two have single-stranded DNA genomes, namely Inoviridae and Microviridae. The distribution, genetic characteristics, and ecological roles of Microviridae remain largely under explored. Here, using viral metagenomics, we investigate the intestinal virome...
