Pilot study of the composition of fecal/gut metagenome of tiger populations in India. Fecal Metagenome of TIger

Tigers are an endangered species living in shrinking habitat. We aim to understand the impact of proximity to human settlement on gut metagenome of tigers. Here a pilot study has been conducted to designed detailed experiments to trace lineage of pathogens, track microbiome and test the presence of gut parasites.
