Abstract Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, have great specificity for their bacterial hosts at the strain and species level. However, the relationship between the phageome and associated bacterial population dynamics is unclear. Here we generated a computational pipeline to identify sequences associated with bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts in cell-free DNA from plasma samples.
