“…Similar to the phylogenetic tree based on partial COI sequences, Bayesian phylogenetic trees constructed using 13 PCGs, IGRCOX1-trnM and IGRND4-rrnS divide Fungiidae into four distinct clades. However, the latter three trees provide a higher resolution of genus- and species-level evolutionary relationships. …”

Complete chloroplast genome sequencing of Pseudocodon convolvulaceus, a medicinal herb from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. by Likuan Liu, Qiwen Li, Jingxuan Du, Weibo Yuan, Rui Sun, Haoyu Liu, Jinping Li

“…A total of 134 genes were annotated, comprising 89 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes, with 12 genes containing one intron and three genes containing two introns. (2) The chloroplast genome includes 67 SSR loci, predominantly single nucleotide repeats, which account for 40% of the total. (3) The genome comprises 64 synonymous codons, including 30 high-frequency codons (RSCU > 1), with 29 of these high-frequency codons ending in A/T, representing 96.7%. …”
