Crassvirales (crAss-like phages) are an abundant group of human gut-specific
bacteriophages discovered in silico. The use of crAss-like phages as human fecal indicators …

CrAssphages represent the most abundant virus in the human gut microbiota, but the lack of
available genome sequences for comparison has kept them enigmatic. Recently, sequence …

The crAss-like phages are a diverse group of related viruses that includes some of the most
abundant viruses of the human gut. To explore their diversity and functional role in human …

CrAssphages are an extensive and ubiquitous family of tailed bacteriophages, predicted to
infect bacteria of the order Bacteroidales. Despite being found in~ 50% of individuals and …

CrAssphage is the most abundant human-associated virus and the founding member of a
