metagenomic sequencing on throat and rectal swabs from Rucervus eldii

This project plans to collect throat and rectal swabs samples from Rucervus eldii from Hainan Dadia National Nature Reserve, Hainan Bangxi Provincial Nature Reserve, and Changsa Conservation Station. Utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS), bioinformatics, the study aims to conduct viral metagenomics and molecular epidemiological research on viruses carried by Rucervus eldii. Additionally, it aims to establish databases of viral genomes and important viruses carried by Rucervus eldii.
