Biology and taxonomy of crAss-like bacteriophages, the most abundant virus in the human gut

2018-04-06

Abstract excerpt

CrAssphage is yet to be cultured even though it represents the most abundant virus in the gut microbiota of humans. Recently, sequence based classification was performed on distantly related crAss-like phages from multiple environments, leading to the proposal of a familial level taxonomic group [Yutin N, et al. (2018) Discovery of an expansive bacteriophage family that includes the most abundant viruses from the...
