We collected cryoconite samples from cryoconite holes on the Forni Glacier (Italy) and sequenced both 16S rRNA amplicon genes (rDNA), 16S rRNA amplicon transcripts (rRNA) and metatranscriptomes
The bacterial diversity of the ice core samples retrieved from the three glaciers of West Sikkim viz. Frey-Peak, Rathong, and Kabru Glacier were studied using 16SrRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The ice
