Highly host-linked viromes in the built environment possess habitat-dependent diversity and functions for potential virus-host coevolution

Abstract Viruses in built environments (BEs) raise public health concerns, yet they are generally less studied than bacteria. To better understand viral dynamics in BEs, this study assesses viromes from 11 habitats across four types of BEs with low to high occupancy. The diversity, composition, meta...
