New tools for diet analysis: nanopore sequencing of metagenomic DNA from rat stomach contents to quantify diet

Published: Sep 9, 2020
Abstract
Accurate determination of animal diets is difficult. Methods such as molecular barcoding or metagenomics offer a promising approach, allowing quantitative and sensitive detection of different taxa. Here we show that rapid and inexpensive diet quantification is possible through metagenomic sequencing with the portable Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION. Using an amplification-free approach, we profiled the stomach contents from 24...
