The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Brainea insignis (Blechnaceae)

Abstract

Brainea insignis (Hooker) J. Smith, a member of Blechnaceae, is a rare and endangered species in tropical Asia. Here we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome. It is 149,730 bp in length and encodes 88 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. This chloroplast genome sequencing offers a useful resource for future conservation genetics and phylogenetic studies.
