The aim of this book is to compile the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of cutting-edge protocols used in wet and dry lab to investigate the viral communities harbored within and on the human body. A practical and experience-based book, it includes methods for collection, isolation, identification, and computational/statistical analysis of the human virome. This volume is arranged by body niches to cover those methodological issues inherent to the human tissues and organs, facilitating the researchers their daily work from beginning to end in the field of the research on the human virome.
