Viral biogeography of gastrointestinal tract and parenchymal organs in two representative species of mammals

In this study we report the first comprehensive metagenomic analysis of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic virome occupying luminal and mucosa-associated habitats along the entire length of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in two animal species, the domestic pig and rhesus macaque.

本研究首次针对家猪与恒河猴两种动物的胃肠道（gastrointestinal tract, GIT）全程的管腔及黏膜相关生境中所栖息的原核与真核生物病毒组（virome），开展了全面的宏基因组分析（metagenomic analysis）。
