Human Virome Heterogeneity Assessment Report Published

Reporters from the 6th Zhong Keyuan calculate the Kunming Institute of Zoology biology and medicine ecology group was informed that the research group has recently published a human virus group heterogeneity assessment reports in the international journal "computing and biotechnology magazine structure", to deepen mankind The understanding of the virus group and the study of heterogeneity have important scientific and practical significance.

Diversity, especially biodiversity, is already well known, and the concept of heterogeneity is often confused with diversity.

In this study, Taylor's power law was extended from a single virus to all virus types contained in the human body, and the spatial variation parameter b=1.

"The significance of studying this parameter lies in the expansion of applied research in the future.

The number of individuals contained in the human virus group may be as high as 380 trillion, which is more than a hundred times the number of bacteria in the human body.
