Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Juniperus microsperma (Cupressaceae), a rare endemic from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Juniperus recurva (Cupressaceae), the Dropping Juniper from the Himalaya

“…Among all of these genes, eight genes, atpF, ndhA, ndhB, rpoC1, petD, petB, rpl16, and rpl2, have a single intron, and two genes (rps12 and ycf3) contain two introns. Inverted repeat (IR) sequences were not detected in this juniper cp genome, which was consistent with previous analysis (Li et al 2016;Tso et al 2018). The overall GC content of the complete cp genome is 35.0%.…”

Characterization of the Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Juniperus polycarpos K. Koch (Cupressaceae), from Ziarat, Pakistan

“…The size of the complete cp genome of J. polycarpos (127,825bp) was consistent with cp genomes from the other sequenced Juniperus species (i.e., ranging from 127,126 bp in J. cedrus to 127,792 bp in J. squamata (Table 3). The absence of inverted repeat (IR) sequence in conifers largely accounts for relatively small cp genome size, as observed for J. polycarpos in the present report and for other published works on cp genomes of Cupressaceae species (35)(36)(37)(38)(39) . Conifers like Douglas-fir and radiata pine also lack the large (20-25 kb) inverted repeat that characterizes most land plants (40) .…”

The complete chloroplast genome of Juniperus squamata (Cupressaceae), a shrubby conifer from Asian Mountains

“…The overall GC content of J. squamata cpDNA is 35.1%. This genome does not contain inverted repeat (IR) sequence, which is consistent with the results of the previously published Cupressaceae species (Guo et al 2016;Li et al 2016;Tso et al 2018;Miao et al 2019;Song et al 2019).…”

“…As a result, we obtained high-quality clean reads for the cp genome assembly. The reads were assembled into contigs using NOVO-Plasty (Dierckxsens et al 2017), and J. microsperma was used as a reference (Tso et al 2018). Then, the cp genome was annotated using Plann (Huang and Cronk 2015).…”
