Short Communication: Obesity Intervention Resulting in Significant Changes in the Human Gut Viral Composition

Obesity is a health problem of global concern that negatively impacts quality of life. Various studies have implicated obesity in the disruption of the normal microbiome composition. The virome consists of a collection of all the viruses that inhabit a particular niche. However, the study of such vi...
