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.
