RNA-seq of a Translocated Toutouwai (Petroica longipes) Population in Aotearoa/New Zealand

Using metagenomic next-generation sequencing we characterised the infectome of 41 toutouwai (North Island robin, Petroica longipes) that were translocated within the North Island of New Zealand to establish a new population. We also screened for pathogenic bacteria, fungi and parasites.
