Viromes

A virome refers to the collection of viruses that are typically studied and characterized by met genomic sequencing of viral nucleic acids found to be associated with a specific ecosystem, organism, or holo biotic. The term is often used to describe environmental viral shotgun Meta genomics. The development of high-throughput sequencing technologies has revealed that the human gut Microbiome is a complex community in which the virome plays a crucial role in regulating gut immunity and homeostasis. This collection of viruses is called the "human virome". It can also be defined as the viral component of the human Microbiome, including viruses that can cause infection or latent infection, as well as viruses that integrate into the human genome, Human papillomavirus.
