We present an extension of the Minimum Information about any (x) Sequence (MIxS)
standard for reporting sequences of uncultivated virus genomes. Minimum Information about …

Since the first genome-scale comparisons, it has been evident that the genomes of many
species are unbound by strict vertical descent: Large differences in gene content can occur …

Viruses are integral components of all ecosystems and microbiomes on Earth. Through
pervasive infections of their cellular hosts, viruses can reshape microbial community …

In-depth profiling of genetic variations in the gut microbiome is highly desired for
understanding its functionality and impacts on host health and disease. Here, by harnessing …

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria or archaea. Understanding the diverse and
intricate genomic architectures of phages is essential to study microbial ecosystems and …

Although disinfection is key to infection control, the colonization patterns and resistomes of
hospital-environment microbes remain underexplored. We report the first extensive genomic …

The virome is one of the most variable components of the human gut microbiome. Within
twin pairs, viromes have been shown to be similar for infants, but not for adults, indicating …

GMrepo (data repo sitory for G ut M icrobiota) is a database of curated and consistently
annotated human gut metagenomes. Its main purpose is to facilitate the reusability and …

Background Goat is an important livestock worldwide, which plays an indispensable role in
