Abstract

The viral fraction of the human gut microbiota, or virome, has been studied in a limited capacity. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Shkoporov et al. (2019) perform a longitudinal study with database-independent clustering of bacteriophage genomes and de novo taxonomic classification, increasing our understanding of the virome.
