Table 2. Number of sequences assembled by NGS of vegetal DNA extracted from tapir faeces (N = 39, 79×60 mg of faecal product), using plant universal primers targeting the P6 loop region of the trnL (UAA) intron and primers specific for the Sapotaceae family, targeting the first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) of nuclear ribosomal DNA.
