TL;DR: This study performed longitudinal metagenomic analysis of fecal viruses in healthy adults that reveal high temporal stability, individual specificity, and correlation with the bacterial microbiome.

TL;DR: RiboGalaxy is presented, a freely available Galaxy-based web server for processing and analyzing ribosome profiling data with the visualization functionality provided by GWIPS-viz, and offers researchers a suite of tools specifically tailored for processing ribo-seq and corresponding mRNA-seq data.

TL;DR: A longitudinal focused metagenomic study of faecal bacteriophage populations in healthy adults reveals the existence of a stable, numerically predominant individual-specific persistent personal virome which correlates with the bacterial microbiome.

TL;DR: A very low level of average nucleotide identity among F. prausnitzii genomes is revealed and two genomogroups can be separated based on differences in functional gene complement, albeit that this division does not fully agree with separation based on conserved gene phylogeny.

TL;DR: Given that bacteriophages are biologically inert in the absence of their host bacteria, they could form a safe and effective alternative to whole microbiota transplants that could be delivered during/following perturbation of the gut flora.
