Summary: This protocol outlines the beta-diversity analysis that we performed on the whole metagenome samples. We measured the signifiance of the dissimilarity between samples that were grouped by biological occlusion status, microenvironment (sebaceous, moist, etc), and sampling time point. Here we also describe our intrapersonal vs interpersonal dissimilarity measurements. Based on methods from the following publication:Hannigan, Geoffrey D., et al. "The Human Skin Double-Stranded DNA Virome: Topographical and Temporal Diversity, Genetic Enrichment, and Dynamic Associations with the Host Microbiome." mBio 6.5 (2015): e01578-15.

Summary: Viral Bioinformatic Resource CentreProvide databases of viral genomic information. Please check the Organisms menu to see which viruses we support: we’re now focusing on large DNA viruses
The VOCs (Virus Orthologous Clusters) database is at the heart of our system.
The database links directly to integrated tools for comparative analyses.
VOCs sorts genes into ortholog clusters (e.g. RNA polymerase) to simplify data retrieval.
Provide easy access to the genes, gene families, and genomes of the different virus families. via a unique series of powerful Java tools that support multiple computer platforms (see VBRC Tools menu).
design and build software to tackle specific bioinformatics/virology problems, often in collaboration with virologists.
Rally the research community to provide expert curation of these viral genomes by: Adding value to GenBank sequences through enhancing and updating genome annotations
Linking to research reviews/papers for the research community.
Collaborate with researchers to help on specific bioinformatics problems, e.g. Custom searches of the databases
Building new features into our tools
