title: 18srRNA-seq of pigeon
design: Total DNA was extracted using the NucleoSpin DNA Insect Kit (Macherey-Nagel, Dren, Germany), following the manufacturers instructions. The 16S rDNA V4 region was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the primers 515F 52-TCGTCGGCAGCGTCAGATG_x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000__x0000_
