Common methods for fecal sample storage in field studies yield consistent signatures of individual identity in microbiome sequencing data

The paper compares fecal sample storage methods in rhesus macaques and finds that individual identity signatures are consistent across methods, suggesting stored samples are suitable for microbiome analysis.
