Commensal enteric virome regulates intestinal carbohydrate digestion & absorption.
The enteric #virome shapes intestinal carbohydrate digestion & immune control, independently modulating epithelial uptake & IL‑22–mediated restraint.

these novel cornflower partitiviruses appear regardless of resistance status. However, there are some differences in the bacterial microbiome. Several genera (e.g. Rothia) are more abundant in resistant plants
This is the first insight into #microbiome and #virome of herbicide-resistant cornflower
Le #virome sanguin existe et il peut servir de marqueur à la maladie de #Crohn.
Ce sont les pistes très prometteuses ouvertes par une équipe de recherche INRAE/Sorbonne Université/APHP.

A new study leverages a well characterized infant cohort to explore our #microbiome & immune health.
Researchers analyzed 647 infants in the #COPSAC cohort & found environmental exposure (daycare, siblings) reduced anellovirus abundance, consistent with immune "training."

New study shows older siblings and urban/rural residence strongly shape the infant gut virome at one year, with most exposure-linked vOTUs being phages. 🔬👶🌍 #Virome #InfantHealth

6/9 These balancing phages are extremely reactive to environmental factors such as #diet and air quality.
They also respond to their host’s #inflammation levels, #immune signaling, and stress #hormones.
Factors like poor diet or drugs can trigger an imbalance, reducing #virome diversity.
#IBD
4.9 An individual’s #virome is not static; it is constantly developing based on #genetics and environment.
At birth, #bacteriophages often vastly outnumber the #microbiome’s #bacteria.
This begins to change with exposure to the outside world and as the #gut develops.
#Health
2/9 Why is it so mysterious?
The #virome makes up just 0.1 per cent of the total microbial mass, Zuo explains. Viruses also mutate quickly, making their genetic material harder to study.
The vast majority of this population—over 90 per cent—is made up of bacteriophages.

🦠VIRUSES HAVE A BAD REP, BUT MANY QUIETLY PROTECT US🦠
Kate Graham-Shaw for Scientific American reports on the "gut virome"—the mysterious viral population in our #microbiome.
"The bacterial component... is well known,” says Tao Zuo. “But the #virome we don’t really know much about.”

Pleased to share our paper on investigating the German hop virome 🍺😊
We have also identified other plant associated microorganisms, some of which infect hop, in the RNA-seq data 👨🏻💻🧬

Happy to see our new paper out in #WaterResearch! A pleasure 2contribute2 this collaborative effort led by Matthew Thornton & fantastic team at @bergthalerlab.bsky.social.
It highlights how much the choice of virus enrichment #method shapes our view of the #wastewater #virome.
#WBE #PublicHealth
This study evaluates 5 virus #enrichment methods to assess their impact on capturing the rich & diverse #virome of raw #wastewater!
💡 Key findings:
- Virus concentration method choice highly impacts recovered viral communities
- Enrichment effect of concentration depends on viral taxonomy
