Cornus officinalis Mitochondrial Genome Sequence and Phylogenetic Analysis

556,620 base pairs comprise the complete mitochondrial genome of Cornus officinalis, assembled into three circular molecules. The genome contains 70 annotated genes, including 43 protein-coding genes, 23 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. This dataset, published by Mary Tolulope Olutayo in 2026, is the first reported mitochondrial genome for the Cornaceae family.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis of angiosperms based on mitochondrial protein-coding genes.
• Studying mitochondrial genome structure and evolution in medicinal plants.
• Comparative genomics of the Cornaceae family and related clades like Hydrangeaceae and Ericaceae.

Strengths

• Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of 556,620 base pairs.
• First mitochondrial genome reported for the Cornaceae family.
• Genome is fully annotated with 70 identified genes.

Limitations

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