Abstract
Research on individual viruses and phages, as well as viral populations (viromes), is greatly expanding. Phages and viromes are increasingly suspected to have numerous impacts on the ecosystem in which they reside by interacting directly or indirectly with the other organisms present in their environment. In particular, phage communities of the gut microbiota have been associated with a wide range of diseases. However, properly investigating intestinal viromes is still very challenging, both experimentally and analytically. This chapter proposes a simple and reproducible protocol to separate and enrich DNA phage particles from fecal samples, to sequence them, and finally obtain a basic but robust bioinformatic characterization and classification of the global bacteriophage community.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 December 2023.
All research outputs
#15,534,910
of 25,074,338 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#4,414
of 14,100 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#62,612
of 152,362 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#42
of 203 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,074,338 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,100 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 152,362 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 203 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
