Plant sequences from fecal samples collected from mice Metagenome

Metabarcoding analyses of mice diet using non-overlapping, paired end reads of the internal transcribed spacer region of the nuclear ribosomal locus. Our main objective was to validate this method for dietary analyses of this federally listed herbivore for future resource selection studies that will inform habitat restoration.

本研究采用核核糖体基因座内部转录间隔区的不重叠双端测序读段，针对该受联邦保护植食性小鼠的膳食开展元条形码（Metabarcoding）分析。本研究的核心目标为验证该方法在该类动物膳食分析中的适用性，为后续旨在为栖息地修复提供决策参考的生境资源选择研究提供支撑。
