A simple, reproducible and cost-effective procedure to analyse gut phageome: from phage isolation to bioinformatic approach
Abstract The microbiota of the human gut is a complex and rich community where bacteria and their viruses, the bacteriophages, are dominant. There are few studies on the phage community and no clear standard for isolating them, sequencing and analysing their genomes. Since this makes comparisons bet...
