Dataset of 569 metagenome-assembled genomes from the caeca of multiple chicken breeds from commercial and backyard farming setups of Pakistan

The groups comprise three different breeds (Broilers, White Layers, Black Australorp) of chicken raised in different farming setups that include antibiotic-free control sheds, commercial, and backyard farms. The binning of the samples identified 569 MAGs with 50% completion, and 10% contamination.

The data for each MAG includes sequences in FASTA format, tables of functional annotation of genes, along with two different strategies for recovery of phylogenetic tree for these MAGs. Major geochemical cycles at community level including carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen cycles are also recovered.
