Gut metagenomic data of adolescent male Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)

To perform a comprehensive characterization of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) gastrointestinal microbiota, we investigated 10 Elephas maximus gut metagenomic datasets from different individuals. Samples were collected from Mengyang protected forest (22º10′～22º11′ N, 100º50′～100º50′ E) of Xishuangbanna National Natural Reserve, Yunnan Province of China.

为全面表征亚洲象（Elephas maximus）胃肠道微生物群，本研究分析了10份来自不同个体的亚洲象肠道宏基因组数据集。样本采集自中国云南省西双版纳国家级自然保护区勐养保护林区（北纬22°10′～22°11′，东经100°50′～100°50′）。
