Alouatta seniculus gut metagenome
Shotgun metagenomics analysis was performed on fecal samples making a pool of six Alouatta seniculus individuals inhabiting western Colombian forests. DNA was extracted using the NMeasy PowerSoil commercial kit following the manufacturer's protocol. The pooled DNA sample was sent to Novogene (Shanghai, China) for Illumina shotgun sequencing. The study aims to characterize virulence factors, antibiotic resistance genes, and potentially pathogenic microorganisms present in these wild primates.
