Significance of gene variants for the functional biogeography of the near-surface Atlantic Ocean microbiome

The taxonomic and functional diversity of marine microbial communities are shaped by both environmental and biotic factors. Here, the authors investigate the functional biogeography of epipelagic prokaryotic communities along a 13,000-km transect in the Southern and Atlantic Oceans, showing finely t...
