Table 5_Comparative analysis of complete mitochondrial genomes from Curcuma longa and Curc

Comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes for two medicinal Curcuma species, Curcuma longa and Curcuma kwangsiensis. The dataset includes assembled genomes of 7.66 Mb and 7.96 Mb, respectively, with analysis of gene content, codon usage, RNA editing, and evolutionary selection. The data was authored by Yunyi Zhou and shared on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the assembled 7.66 Mb and 7.96 Mb mitochondrial genomes.
• Studying evolutionary selection pressures based on the analysis of purifying and positive selection in specific genes like atp8 and nad4.
• Investigating genome structural plasticity based on reported synteny comparisons and low collinearity between species.
• Analyzing organelle gene transfer based on the documented incorporation of 25 plastid-derived fragments.

Strengths

• Genomes are fully assembled and sequenced, with specific sizes of 7.66 Mb and 7.96 Mb provided.
• Analysis includes specific metrics like conserved GC content (43.7–43.9%) and the retention of 39 core protein-coding genes.
• Phylogenetic reconstruction is reported with maximum bootstrap support of 100, indicating high confidence in the species relationship.

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 small (33.0 KB), indicating it contains summary or analytical results rather than raw sequence data.
