Complete Chloroplast Genome of Cynanchum hemsleyanum for Phylogenetic Analysis

Cynanchum hemsleyanum, a perennial liana from Southwest and Central China, has its complete chloroplast genome sequenced and annotated. The genome is 157,356 base pairs long with a GC content of 38% and contains 132 annotated genes. This dataset, authored by menglu Li and last updated in May 2026, provides genomic data for molecular identification and phylogenetic studies.

Use Cases

• Constructing phylogenetic trees based on the complete chloroplast genome sequence.
• Conducting molecular identification of Cynanchum hemsleyanum based on its annotated gene set.
• Investigating genetic diversity within the Asclepiadaceae subfamily using the provided genomic data.
• Analyzing chloroplast genome structure and gene content for comparative genomics.

Strengths

• Complete chloroplast genome sequence of 157,356 base pairs with detailed structural annotation.
• Contains 132 annotated genes (87 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, 8 rRNA), providing a specific genetic resource.
• Includes a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree demonstrating its use for evolutionary analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the single species studied.
