Passiflora edulis Mitochondrial Genome Sequencing Data

A 2026 study by Yao Teng presents the complete mitochondrial genome of the Passiflora edulis 'GH-1' variety. The dataset includes results from a hybrid PacBio and Illumina sequencing strategy, revealing a novel double-circular conformation with two chromosomes totaling 715,005 base pairs. It provides annotations for 50 functional genes, 21 tRNAs, and identifies repeat sequences, transposable elements, and mitochondrial plastid DNA fragments.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the identified gene rearrangements between purple and yellow Passiflora edulis varieties.
• Phylogenetic studies based on the high-quality mitogenome assembly and annotated gene set.
• Analysis of inter-organellar gene transfer dynamics based on the identified mitochondrial plastid DNA (MTPT) fragments.
• Study of repeat-mediated genome conformation based on the abundant forward repeats and transposable elements reported.

Strengths

• Complete mitogenome assembly validated by PCR and Sanger sequencing.
• Detailed quantification of genomic features, including 715,005 total base pairs, 50 functional genes, and 1,596 transposable elements.
• Results from a hybrid sequencing strategy combining PacBio HiFi long reads and Illumina short reads.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (10.4 KB), suggesting it contains summary results rather than raw sequencing data.
