16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of chicken cecum bacteriome in Trinidad and Tobago
This project investigates the bacterial community structure of the chicken (Gallus gallus) cecum using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Samples were collected from chickens (free-range and broilers) in Trinidad and Tobago and processed for DNA extraction followed by high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene using the 27F and 1492R primers.
