Population-level comparison of gut microbiome of Japanese macaques

Using 16S rRNA Illumina sequencing, we compared the gut microbiome of 19 populations of Japanese macaques Macaca fuscata across the Japanese archipelago. Data from six macaque populations have been used in work published previously and could be accessed at PRJDB8636.本研究采用基于Illumina测序平台的16S核糖体RNA（16S rRNA）基因测序技术，对日本列岛范围内19个日本猴（Macaca fuscata）种群的肠道微生物组开展了比较分析。其中6个猴种群的测序数据已用于此前发表的研究，相关数据可通过登录号PRJDB8636获取。
