Abstract excerpt
Sea ice plays a critical role in regulating the global climate and serves as a unique habitat for diverse microbial communities. Still, our understanding of viruses in these communities remains limited. To further uncover the diversity and functional potential of viruses in polar and subarctic sea ice, we explored the viral component of Arctic, Baltic Sea, and Antarctic sea ice metagenomes. Altogether, 550 viral...
