Considering the Other Half of the Gut Microbiome: Bacteriophages

ABSTRACT Bacteriophages, viruses specific to bacteria, regulate bacterial communities in all known microbial systems. My research aims to determine how they interact with the trillions of bacteria found in the human gut. To do this, I apply a whole-systems perspective on both communities, considerin...
