The article discusses the Human Virome Program, a collaborative effort involving five universities aiming to explore the vast number of viruses inhabiting the human body. Despite the existence of tens of trillions of viruses within us, the majority remain unidentified, with many being benign or even beneficial. With $171 million in federal funding, researchers will collect diverse samples from thousands of volunteers and utilize artificial intelligence to analyze this data, potentially revealing new insights into how our viruses influence health. This unprecedented initiative marks a significant evolution in understanding the human virome.
Scientists estimate that tens of trillions of viruses live inside us; the majority are benign and some may even be beneficial, yet remain largely unknown.
