Assembly and analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Prunella vulgaris

ABSTRACT: Prunella vulgaris (Lamiaceae) is widely distributed in Eurasia. Former studies have demonstrated that P. vulgaris has a wide range of pharmacological effects. Nevertheless, no complete P. vulgaris mitochondrial genome has been reported, which limits further understanding of the biology of P. vulgaris. Here, we assembled the first complete mitochondrial genome of P. vulgaris using a hybrid assembly strategy based on sequencing data from both Nanopore and Illumina platforms. Then, the mitochondrial genome of P. vulgaris was analyzed comprehensively in terms of gene content, codon preference, intercellular gene transfer, phylogeny, and RNA editing. The mitochondrial genome of P. vulgaris has two circular structures. It has a total length of 297, 777 bp, a GC content of 43.92%, and 29 unique p
