The infant gut virome assembles rapidly and predictably over the first three years of life

2026-02-18

Abstract excerpt

Assembly of the gut microbiota in infancy is an important health determinant, yet the viral component, the virome, remains poorly described. Here, we conduct a meta-analysis of 12 infant cohorts across 8 countries to model gut virome development over the first three years of life. Our results revealed distinct diversity patterns, where viral richness increased significantly over the first eight months of life alon...
