Chloroplast Genomes of 35 Rhodiola Species for Phylogenetic Analysis

Complete chloroplast genome data for 89 samples representing 35 Rhodiola species. The dataset was generated by Erhuan Zang using a batch-processing pipeline for assembly and analysis, and was last updated in May 2026. It includes results on structural variation and phylogenetic signals related to sex differentiation.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetic analysis based on complete chloroplast genome sequences from 35 species.
• Identifying molecular markers for species identification based on described highly variable regions like ycf1 and matK.
• Investigating evolutionary relationships and lineage divergence associated with sexual-system differentiation in Rhodiola.
• Comparing chloroplast genome structure and sequence variation across a genus with both dioecious and hermaphroditic species.

Strengths

• Includes data from 89 newly sequenced samples across 35 Rhodiola species.
• Identifies specific highly variable regions (ycf1, matK, rpoC2, rpoB) and intergenic spacers.
• Reports lineage-specific polymorphisms in genes like rps15 and ndhI as candidate markers.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
