The characterization and phylogenetic analysis of complete chloroplast genome in Morella cerifera (Myricaceae)

Abstract

The first complete chloroplast genome of Morella cerifera was obtained by illumina platform sequencing technology in this study. The size of genome is 158,943 base pairs, consist of a pair of IRs 26,043 bp in length, the LSC region of 88,167 bp and SSC region of 18,690 bp. The genome has 112 unique genes, among which 79 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that M. cerifera clustered with M. rubra within Myricaceae.
