Complete chloroplast genome assemblies and annotations of three grapefruit (Citrus paradis

Texas A&M University–Kingsville provides the complete chloroplast genome assemblies and annotations for three commercially important grapefruit cultivars. The data includes genome sequences in FASTA format and annotations in GenBank format, assembled from PacBio HiFi sequencing data. These resources were published in May 2026 to support reproducibility and genetic research.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetic analysis based on complete chloroplast genome sequences.
• Performing comparative chloroplast genomics across the three grapefruit cultivars.
• Supporting citrus genetic research and breeding programs with annotated genome data.
• Facilitating reproducibility of genomic studies as described in the associated manuscript.

Strengths

• Includes complete chloroplast genomes for three distinct cultivars: Rio Red, Ruby Red, and Texas Red.
• Genomes were assembled from PacBio HiFi sequencing data, which suggests high accuracy.
• Dataset is small (166.4 KB), facilitating quick download and local 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 the specific bias inherent to the three studied cultivars from a single institution.
