title: Viral metagenome of fecal samples from wild rats
organism: rat gut metagenome
description: We describe here the metagenomics-derived viral sequences found in fecal samples collected from five different species of wild rats in China. Feces can be the source of numerous viral infections in animals. A library was then constructed using Nextera XT DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina) and then sequenced using the Miseq Illumina platform with 250 bases paired ends with a distinct molecular tag for each pool.
