According to a February 19 2021 article in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News (Genengnews) researchers have built "the Gut Phage Database" (GPD), a collection of 142,000 nonredundant viral genomes (>10 kb) obtained by mining a dataset of 28,060 globally distributed human gut metagenomes and 2,898 reference genomes of cultured gut bacteria.” They identified common ancestors among the identified viruses.

Researchers at Wellcome Sanger Institute and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) claim that more than half of these viruses have never been seen before.

Genengnews quoted Alexandre Almeida, PhD, postdoctoral fellow at EMBL-EBI and the Wellcome Sanger Institute saying this could lead to new treatments such as antimicrobials from bacteriophage origin.
