Deep viral blood metagenomics reveals extensive anellovirus diversity in healthy humans

Abstract Human blood metagenomics has revealed the presence of different types of viruses in apparently healthy subjects. By far, anelloviruses constitute the viral family that is more frequently found in human blood, although amplification biases and contaminations pose a major challenge in this fi...
