Laboratory rats such as the Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats are important model for biomedical studies in relation to human physiological or pathogenic processes. Here we report on the first catalog of microbial genes in fecal samples from Sprague-Dawley rats. The catalog was established using 98 fecal samples from 49 SD rats divided in 7 experimental groups collected at different time points 30 days apart. The established gene catalog comprises 5,130,167 non-redundant genes with an average length of 750 base pairs (BP), among which 64.6% and 26.7% were annotated to phylum and genus levels, respectively. Functionally, 53.1%, 21.8% and 31% of the genes could be annotated to KEGG orthologous groups (KOs), modules and pathways, respectively. A comparison of rat gut metagenome catalogue with human or mouse revealed a higher pairwise overlap between rats and humans (2.47%) than between mice and humans (1.19%) at the gene level. 97% of the functional pathways in the human catalog were present in the rat catalogue underscoring the potential use of rats for biomedical research.
