Recovery of 52 bacterial genomes from the fecal microbiome of the domestic cat ( Felis catus ) using Hi-C proximity ligation and shotgun metagenomics.

We used Hi-C proximity ligation with shotgun sequencing to retrieve metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from the fecal microbiomes of two domestic cats ( Felis catus ). The genomes were assessed for completeness and contamination, classified taxonomically, and annotated for putative antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes.
