A generic overview of key experimental steps important in studying the human gut phageome: from metagenomics, database-independent whole virome analyses, in silico identification of novel phages to isolation and characterization. Linking bioinformatics and lab-based research provides important insights into phageome composition, aids novel phage isolation and characterization of biological properties including interactions with the bacterial and mammalian host.
