Abstract excerpt
Faeces serve as a widely used non-invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high-throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear. This knowledge gap makes it challenging to pre-estimate the required sequencing depth to ensure...
