The blood DNA virome in 8,000 humans

Integration of human herpesvirus 6.

The two populations of HHV6A andHHV6B are present in a bimodal distribution. The frequency of integrated viruses, at approximately 0.5 per cell corresponds to the haploid nature of the integration in the case of inherited, vertical transmission—from one of the parents. The identification of chimeric reads, or paired human-virus reads is shown for a substantial proportion of integrated HHV6 (green dots). The bar represents the median.
