Complete Chloroplast Genomes for 25 Stachyurus Accessions

Eastern Asia is the geographic scope for this dataset of complete chloroplast genomes (cpDNAs) for the Stachyurus genus. Xinhao Liu sequenced and assembled 25 accessions representing seven species and one variety, with genomes ranging from 161,624 to 162,947 base pairs. The data was last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetic analyses based on complete chloroplast genome sequences.
• Identifying hypervariable regions for use as molecular markers in species identification.
• Investigating signs of positive selection in specific chloroplast genes.
• Studying genome structural variation, such as inverted repeat boundary dynamics and gene loss.
• Assessing cytonuclear discordance and evidence of chloroplast capture associated with hybridization.

Strengths

• Includes 25 sequenced and assembled chloroplast genomes.
• Genomes represent seven currently accepted species and one variety of Stachyurus.
• Identifies seven hypervariable regions and four genes under positive selection.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The description notes relationships within the Chinese clade remain poorly resolved.
• The dataset is small in scale at 51.1 KB, indicating limited scope.
