    Viruses are the most biological entities on earth. Presently scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) have identified over 140,000 viral species living in the human gut, more than half of which are new to science. The study published on 18 February 2021 in Cell, contains an analysis of over 28,000 gut microbiome samples collected in various parts of the world.

    The number & diversity of the viruses the scientists discovered were shockingly high, and the data opens up new research doors for understanding how viruses living in the gut affect human health. The human gut is an incredibly biodiverse environment. In addition to bacteria, a huge number of infections of viruses called bacteriophages, which can infect bacteria, likewise live there.
