Festuca Pratensis Mitochondrial Genome Assembly and Phylogenetic Analysis

Wenlong Gong assembled and annotated the first high-quality mitochondrial genome of Festuca pratensis, a forage grass. The genome has a multichromosomal structure totaling 449,613 base pairs, containing 51 genes, and was analyzed for structure, selection pressure, and phylogeny. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-13.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis based on the comparison of 43 species mentioned in the description
• Identifying positively selected genes based on Ka/Ks ratios reported for the rps3 gene
• Studying RNA editing sites based on the 454 sites detected across 30 protein-coding genes
• Analyzing codon usage bias based on the 9,810 codons and their preference/avoidance probabilities
• Examining genome structure and repetitive sequences based on the reported counts of simple, tandem, and scattered repeats

Strengths

• The dataset provides the first high-quality mitochondrial genome assembly for Festuca pratensis, a species with limited prior genomic data.
• The description includes specific quantitative metrics, such as a total genome length of 449,613 bp and the detection of 51 genes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
