Abstract:Metagenomics has revealed an unprecedented viral diversity in human gut although, most of the sequence data remains to be characterized. In this study, we mined a collection of 1090 metagenome assembled “high quality” genomes of human gut viruses. Sequence analysis has revealed eight new species from seven genera of the class, Caudoviricetes and nineteen new species from fourteen genera of the ssDNA virus family, Microviridae. In addition, four “high quality” genomes were identified, which do not show similari… Show more
