title: 18S sequences from R. tarandus feces
design: Genomic DNA extraction was performed on 100mg of feces powder using the Qiagen DNeasy PowerSoil kit extraction kit.Metabarcoding library preparation and sequencing were performed using the primer pair 565F (CCAGCASCYGCGGTAATTCC) and 948R (ACTTTCGTTCTTGATYRA)  targeting the 18S region. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina MiSeq platform at the Next-Generation Sequencing Platform, Genomics Centre, CHU de Qubec-Universit Laval Research Centre, Qubec, Canada, for paired-end 250 bp sequencing
