Illumina shotgun sequencing of Sus scrofa carcass metagenome
Sample was collected from a pig carcass in a federally inspected abattoir. A total surface of 300 cm2 was sampled (100 cm2 on the hind leg, near the anus, 100 cm2 on the belly near the front legs, and 100 cm2 on the jowl). 5 carcass samples were pooled prior to DNA extractions. After exrtaction, the DNA of five pooled samples was pooled again, forming a pool containing the DNA of a total of 25 samples. The library preparation and sequencing on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 device were done by the Genome Quebec Centre of Expertise and Services (Montral, Canada)
