Feijoa Chloroplast Genome Comparison: Size and Region Differences

Bohan Yang compared two chloroplast genome assemblies for Feijoa sellowiana, KX289887.1 and PX562857.1. The data, last updated on 2026-05-19, shows a 4 bp difference in total genome size and variations in the lengths of the Large Single-Copy (LSC) and Inverted Repeat (IR) regions. The dataset is a 12.3 KB DOCX file shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking new chloroplast genome assemblies based on reported size and structural metrics.
• Studying boundary shifts in chloroplast quadripartite regions based on the described LSC and IR length differences.
• Analyzing genome conservation in Feijoa sellowiana based on the comparison of two specific plastome accessions.

Strengths

• Direct comparison of two specific GenBank accessions (KX289887.1 and PX562857.1) with quantified base-pair differences.
• Explicitly reports a 4 bp total size difference and specific changes in LSC (-96 bp) and IR (+50 bp) regions.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset scale is extremely limited at 12.3 KB; row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• The data format is DOCX, which may require extraction or conversion for computational analysis.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-05-19).
