The MAZE.ROE research project aims at characterizing the gut microbiota and the diet composition of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in the Italian Alps, by applying a metataxonomic approach coupled with high-throughput sequencing (Illumina). A total amount of 384 fecal samples, collected from roe deers in the Trento province (years 2013-2014) and the Valle d'Aosta region (2013), were selected for the study. Preliminary results obtained during a pilot study on a limited number of fecal samples deriving from 3 roe deers individuals confirmed the feasibility of the whole project, which is currently in progress.

Abstract
The MAZE.ROE research project aims at characterizing the gut microbiota and the diet composition of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in the Italian Alps, by applying a metataxonomic approach coupled with high-throughput sequencing (Illumina). A total amount of 384 fecal samples, collected from roe deers in the Trento province (years 2013-2014) and the Valle d'Aosta region (2013), were selected for the study. Preliminary results obtained during a pilot study on a limited number of fecal samples deriving from 3 roe deers individuals confirmed the feasibility of the whole project, which is currently in progress.
