Lathyrus sativus LS007: Complete Mitochondrial Genome Assembly

A 379,804 bp mitochondrial genome assembled as a single circular chromosome for the grass pea genotype LS007. The genome was annotated with 59 genes, including 26 protein-coding, 3 ribosomal RNA, and 30 transfer RNA genes. Author Ramawatar Nagar published this resource on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics of legume mitochondrial genomes based on the annotated gene set.
• Study of RNA editing and trans-splicing in plant mitochondria based on features described for genes like nad1.
• Phylogenetic analysis of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) using the complete mitochondrial sequence.
• Development of molecular markers for crop improvement in drought-tolerant species.

Strengths

• Complete, high-quality assembly from PacBio HiFi long reads, resulting in a single circular chromosome.
• Precise annotation detailing 59 specific genes, including 26 protein-coding, 3 rRNA, and 30 tRNA genes.
• Explicitly notes characteristic features like trans-splicing and RNA editing, providing biological context.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• Data represents a single genotype (LS007), which may limit generalizability across the species.
