Efforts to catalog viral diversity in the gut microbiome have largely focused on DNA viruses, while RNA viruses remain understudied. To address this, we screened assemblies of previously published mouse gut metatranscriptomes for the presence of RNA viruses. We identified the coding-complete genomes of an astrovirus and five mitovirus-like viruses.
在肠道微生物群中对病毒多样性进行编目的工作主要集中在DNA病毒上,而RNA病毒仍未得到充分研究。为了解决这个问题,我们在先前发表的小鼠肠道宏转录组的组装序列中筛选RNA病毒的存在情况。我们鉴定出了一种星状病毒和五种类线粒体病毒的编码完整基因组。
