  1. The first sections present the average concentrations of genomic DNA (gDNA) obtained from dog stool, MCS, and GMS samples, measured in ng/µL, respectively. Values are reported as means with standard deviations. The last blocks of tables report the average length of the longest DNA fragments (in base pairs, bp) obtained from dog stool, MCS, and GMS samples, respectively.
