Integration of SNP genotyping and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to identify heritable gut microbes in chickens.

Abstract excerpt

The effect of host genetics on the gut microbiota is not fully understood. Here, we introduce a protocol that describes the steps necessary to analyze the SNP genotyping and amplicon sequencing data to identify heritable microbes in chicken gut. We apply this protocol to infer the cecal heritable taxa and their associated SNPs in chicken genome sequence. This will be beneficial for the identification of gut...
