Promise and limitations of 18S genetic screening of extracted fecal DNA from wild capuchins

Promise and limitations of 18S genetic screening of extracted fecal DNA from wild capuchins

Genomic screening of fecal DNA provides insight into diet, parasite infection dynamics, and other aspects of the ecology and pathogens of wild populations. Here, we amplify and sequence the V4/V5 regions of the eukaryotic 18S ribosomal RNA gene from fecal DNA of wild capuchin monkeys (Cebus imitator...
