Virome and metagenomic analysis reveal the distinct distribution of microbiota in human fetal gut during gestation

Studies have shown that fetal immune cell activation may result from potential exposure to microbes, although the presence of microbes in fetus has been a controversial topic. Here, we combined metagenomic and virome techniques to investigate the presence of bacteria and viruses in fetal tissues (sm...
