A recent paper in BMC Biology entitled "A tissue level atlas of the healthy human virome" by Kumata et al. describes a meta-transcriptomic analysis of RNA-sequencing datasets from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Project. Using a workflow that maps the GTEx sequences to the human genome, then screens unmapped sequences to detect viral transcripts, the authors present a quantitative analysis of the presence of different viruses in the non-diseased tissues of over 500 individuals and assess the impact of these viruses on host gene expression. Here we draw attention to an issue not acknowledged in this study. Namely, by relying solely on GTEx datasets, which are enriched for transcripts with poly(A) tails, the analysis will have missed non-poly(A) viral transcripts, rendering this tissue level atlas of the virome incomplete.A commentary on Kumata et al. (BMC Biol 18:55, 2020).
