Inter-Individual Diversity Scaling Analysis of the Human Virome With Classic Diversity-Area Relationship (DAR) Modeling.

ABSTRACT: The human virome is a critical component of the human microbiome, and it is believed to hold the richest diversity within human microbiomes. Yet, the inter-individual scaling (changes) of the human virome has not been formally investigated to the best of our knowledge. Here we fill the gap by applying diversity-area relationship (DAR) modeling (a recent extension to the classic species-area law in biodiversity and biogeography research) for analyzing four large datasets of the human virome with three DAR profiles: DAR scaling (z)-measuring the inter-individual heterogeneity in virome diversity, MAD (maximal accrual diversity: D _max ) and LGD ratio (ratio of local diversity to global diversity)-measuring the percentage of individual to populatio
