Fig. 2

Size distributions of genomes and virions of the most prevalent virus families in the gut. Values are given for the prototype virus of each family. Prokaryotic viruses are shown in red, eukaryotic viruses in blue. Structural information as well as genome sizes have been exported from the ICTV Online Report [24]. The prevalence of each family in the human gut has been inferred from the following studies: Inoviridae [20, 25], Circoviridae, Adenoviridae, Microviridae, Podoviridae, Myoviridae, Siphoviridae [26], Anelloviridae [25,26,27], CrAss-like [28, 29]. dsDNA double-stranded DNA. ssDNA single-stranded DNA
