Fig. 4: Functional enrichment analysis and taxonomy of enriched functions.

A Prevalence represented against the number of enriched KOs in cryospheric samples across bacterial genera. The shading represents the cryospheric and others bacterial genera whereas symbol size represents the number of contigs taxonomically assigned to the respective genus within cryospheric metagenomes. The insert represents the distribution of the number of contigs harbouring cryospheric enriched KOs across the cryospheric and others genera. B Heatmap representing the completion of pathways across cryospheric samples based only on the KOs enriched in the cryosphere. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
