Research on permafrost microbial communities is crucial for predicting the response of permafrost ecosystems to climate change. Here, Kang et al. provide insights into the structure and functional potential of permafrost microbial communities by analyzing 16S rRNA gene sequence data and metagenomic data obtained from an ∼1000 km transect on the Tibetan Plateau.
