Faecal metagenomes of great tits and blue tits provide insights into host, diet, pathogens and microbial biodiversity

2025-04-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The vertebrate gut microbiome plays crucial roles in host health and disease. However, there is limited information on the microbiomes of wild birds, most of which is restricted to barcode sequences. We therefore explored the use of shotgun metagenomics on the faecal microbiomes of two wild bird species widely used as model organisms in ecological studies: the great tit (Parus major) and the...
