Comparison of rumen archaeal diversity in adult and elderly yaks (Bos grunniens) using 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing
This study was conducted to investigate the phylogenetic diversity of archaea in the rumen of adult and elderly yaks. Six domesticated female yaks, 3 adult yaks ((5.3±0.6) years old), and 3 elderly yaks ((10.7±0.6) years old), were used for the rumen contents collection. Illumina MiSeq high-throughp...
