Metagenomics analysis of microbial composition and function diversity in a Svalbard permafrost samples. Comparative metagenomics analysis for Svalbard permafrost samples

In this study we investigated whether microbial community composition and function change with increasing soil depth. We conducted 5 deep metagenomic sequencing cores sampled in Adventdalen, Svalbard, Norway; from the active layer into the permafrost layer.
