Microbial Biogeography along the Gastrointestinal Tract Segments of Sympatric Subterranean Rodents (<i>Eospalax baileyi</i> and <i>Eospalax cansus</i>)

In this study, based on high-throughput sequencing technology, the biodiversity and the community structure of microbiota in different GIT segments (the stomach, small intestine, cecum and rectum) of plateau zokors and Gansu zokors were studied and compared. A source tracking analysis for the microb...

A source tracking analysis for the microbial communities of different GIT segments was carried out using the fast expectation–maximization microbial source tracking (FEAST) method.
