title: A metagenomics study of the rumen virome of the sheep and the goat
design: In this study, material from rumen was collected from goats and sheep, obtained from the Dagoretti abattoir (Nairobi). These were sieved, enriched for viruses by membrane filtration, ultra-centrifugation, overnight PEG treatment and nuclease treatment. DNA was extracted using the Roche’s extraction kit and subsequently submitted for pyrosequencing.
