AbstractEnvironmental contamination complicates the study of low-biomass microbial communities like the human gut virome. In 1,321 early-life gut viromes and 55 negative controls (NCs) from four datasets, we identified viral contaminants and their prevalence across studies.

AbstractEarly development of the gut ecosystem is crucial for lifelong health. While infant gut bacterial communities have been studied extensively, the infant gut virome remains under-explored. We longitudinally assessed the composition of gut viruses and their bacterial hosts in 322 total metagenomes and 205 metaviromes from 30 mothers during and after pregnancy and from their 32 infants during their first year of life.
