Genomic variation in microbial populations inhabiting the marine subseafloor at deep-sea hydrothermal vents

The warm subseafloor at deep-sea hydrothermal vents hosts diverse microbial communities. Here, Anderson et al. reconstruct 73 metagenome-assembled genomes from two geochemically distinct hydrothermal vent fields, showing different patterns of genomic variation among diverse microbial taxa.
