Acquisition, transmission and strain diversity of human gut-colonizing crAss-like phages

CrAss-like phages are bacterial viruses often found in the human gut. Here, Siranosian et al. analyze gut metagenomic data to evaluate the patterns of acquisition, transmission and strain diversity of these phages in mother-infant pairs and in patients undergoing fecal microbiota transplantation.
