A prevalent huge phage clade in human and animal gut microbiomes

2025-08-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Huge phages are widespread in the biosphere, yet their prevalence and ecology in the human gut remain poorly characterized. Here, we report Jug (Jumbo gut) phages with genomes of 360-402 kilobase pairs that comprise ~1.1% of the reads in human gut metagenomes, and are predicted to infect Bacteroides and/or Phocaeicola. Although three of the four major groups of Jug phages shared >90% ge...
