Metagenomic analyses of the late Pleistocene permafrost – additional tools for reconstruction of environmental conditions

A comparative analysis of the metagenomes from two 30 000-year-old permafrost samples, one of lake-alluvial origin and the other from late Pleistocene Ice Complex sediments, revealed significant differences within microbial communities. The late Pleistocene Ice Complex sediments (which have been cha...
