Gut metagenomic data of old adult male Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)

To perform a comprehensive characterization of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) gastrointestinal microbiota, we investigated 10 Elephas maximus gut metagenomic datasets from different individuals. Samples were collected from Mengyang protected forest (22º10'~22º11' N, 100º50'~100º50' E) of Xishuangbanna National Natural Reserve, Yunnan Province of China.

为全面表征亚洲象（Elephas maximus）的胃肠道微生物群落，本研究对来自不同个体的10份亚洲象肠道宏基因组数据集展开了分析。样本采集自中国云南省西双版纳国家级自然保护区勐养保护林区（北纬22°10′~22°11′，东经100°50′~100°50′）。
