The human virome is the total collection of viruses in and on the human body. [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] Viruses in the human body may infect both human cells and other microbes such as bacteria (as with bacteriophages). [ 4 ] Some viruses cause disease, while others may be asymptomatic. Certain viruses are also integrated into the human genome as ...
v. t. e. Virome refers to the assemblage of viruses [1][2] that is often investigated and described by metagenomic sequencing of viral nucleic acids [3] that are found associated with a particular ecosystem, organism or holobiont. The word is frequently used to describe environmental viral shotgun metagenomes. Viruses, including bacteriophages ...
Since the majority of human pandemics are zoonotic in origin, metagenomic surveillance can provide faster identification of novel viruses and their reservoirs. [28] One such surveillance program is the Global Virome Project (GVP) an international collaborative research initiative based at the One Health Institute at the University of California ...
A bacteriophage, or phage for short, is a virus that has the ability to infect bacteria and archaea, and can replicate inside of them. Phageome is a subcategory of virome, which is all of the viruses that are associated with a host or environment. [4] Phages make up the majority of most viromes and are currently understood as being the most ...
The Human Variome Project. The Human Variome Project ( HVP) is the global initiative to collect and curate all human genetic variation affecting human health. [1] Its mission is to improve health outcomes by facilitating the unification of data on human genetic variation and its impact on human health. [citation needed]
Virome studies showed that most viral diversity was extreme and almost completely unknown. Rob Edwards and Rohwer proposed that a genome-based taxonomy was need to link the metagenomic data to the existing, morphology-based taxonomy. The controversial Phage Proteomic Tree was the resulting system and was featured in Life in Our Phage World (2015).
The Visible Human Project is an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body, in order to facilitate anatomy visualization applications. It is used as a tool for the progression of medical findings, in which these findings link anatomy to its audiences. [ 1 ] A male and a female cadaver were cut into ...
Viral disease. A viral disease (or viral infection) occurs when an organism's body is invaded by pathogenic viruses, and infectious virus particles (virions) attach to and enter susceptible cells. [1] Examples are the common cold, gastroenteritis and pneumonia. [2]
