title: Blood sample of 16S rRNA from Quiscalus lugubris
design: 23 blood DNA samples were grouped into 11 pools, by bird species or individually. We only worked with the blood samples of those birds that presented positive ticks for rickettsia. For the preparation of the libraries, directed to the amplification of the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, the primers F515 and R806 were used. 1nM of the final library was sequenced by paired-ended v.2 chemical sequencing (150 bp reads) along with their multiplex sample adapters on the Illumina iSeq100 platform.
