The DNA virome varies with human genes and environments
2025-09-11
Abstract excerpt
Many viruses have adapted to persist in infected humans for life 1,2 . Variable host control of their ongoing abundance (“load”) can lead to clearance or disease 3–5 . We analyzed the viral DNA load of 31 common viruses in human blood and saliva using whole-genome sequencing data from UK Biobank (n=490,401), All of Us (n=414,817), and SPARK (n=12,519). Viral DNA load varied markedly with age, time of day, and se...
