Metagenomics Provides a Deeper Assessment of the Diversity of Bacterial Communities in Polar Soils Than Metabarcoding

The diversity of soil bacteria was analyzed via metabarcoding and metagenomic approaches using DNA samples isolated from the biocrusts of 12 different Arctic and Antarctic sites. For the metabarcoding approach, the V3-4 region of the 16S rRNA was targeted. Our results showed that nearly all operatio...
