Short summary
Based on amplicon sequencing, metagenome sequencing, and cultivated genome sequencing, the dataset contains 64,510 bacterial and archaeal species, 62,595,715 unique genes, and 4,501 microbial genomes of bacteria and archaea from glaciers of the Antarctic, Arctic, Tibetan Plateau, and other alpine regions. The data can be useful to ecologists, microbiologists, and policymakers regarding microbial distribution, evolution, and biohazard assessment for glacier microbiome under global climate change.
