Urinary Tract Virome as an Urgent Target for Metagenomics

Virome—a part of a microbiome—is a term used to describe all viruses found in the specific organism or system. Recently, as new technologies emerged, it has been confirmed that kidneys and the lower urinary tract are colonized not only by the previously described viruses, but also completely novel s...
