Recovery of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from the gastrointestinal microbiome of goat kids. a, graphical representation of samples spanning three GIT regions and five developmental ages. b, histograms showing the distributions of genome sizes, N50 values, numbers of contigs and tRNAs per genome, respectively. c, percentages of novel MAGs in goat kid-associated GKGMC (goat kid gastrointestinal microbial catalog) as compared with ruminant-associated RGMC (ruminant gastrointestinal microbial catalog) and goat-associated GMMC (goat multi-kingdom microbial catalog) datasets at 95 and 99% average nucleotide identity (ANI). d, read classification rate of 124 samples using our GKGMC in comparison to ruminant-associated RGMC or goat-associated GMMC datasets.
