Wits Etosha Lion Gut Microbiome Project
Metagenomic study of the gut microbiome of African lions (Panthera leo).       This project includes Illumina short-read sequencing of 23 samples from 20 individual lions (3 sampled at two timepoints, first collection May 2022, second October 2022), Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing for a subset of 10 lions, and metagenome-assembled genomes derived from these samples. The lions were all wild and resident at the Etosha National Park in Namibia.
