AbstractGut bacteriophages profoundly impact microbial ecology and human health, yet they are greatly understudied. Using deep, long-read bulk metagenomic sequencing, a technique that overcomes fundamental limitations of short-read approaches, we tracked prophage integration dynamics in 12 longitudinal stool samples from six healthy individuals, spanning a two-year timescale.
