Abstract
The human virome is the collection of viruses found in human, including viruses that infect eucaryotic cells, bacteriophages and virus-derived genetic elements in host chromosomes that can influence host-genes expression. Most of the recent knowledges regarding the human virome were driven by advances in high-throughput, deep sequencing approaches. Thanks to these new technologies, many new human viruses were described with, furthermore, the evidence of the presence of a resident viral community in most human tissus. This new concept will have profound implications for understanding the biological role of viruses in the human body.
