We generated and/or (re)analyzed ~100 #metagenomics Hi-C datasets to provide a comprehensive analysis of bacterial and viral metagenomes across VERY different environments.
Congratulations to all authors especially Amaury Bignaud and @mmarbout.bsky.social for the huge work!
#metaHiC
Our work show that phages with a broad host ranges are common across ecosystems. It also highlights the interest of using HiC to study single metagenomic samples.
Congrats to all authors !! 🎉
We then show that among the phages with an assigned host, a substantial proportion of them interact with several, and sometimes distantly related, hosts.

You like phages ? In this publication, we use metaHiC and our new version of the MetaTOR pipeline to challenge the traditional view of phages with a narrow host range.
