Comprehensive analysis of the mitochondrial genome of <i>Iris domestica</i> emphasizing multichromosomal organization and repeat-mediated homologous recombination.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Iris domestica is a perennial herb valued for both its ornamental and medicinal properties. Despite its significance, no comprehensive analysis of its mitochondrial genome has been previously reported. Plant mitochondrial genomes are known for their large size, structural complexity, and frequent recombination events. This study aims to provide the first complete assembly and characterization of the mitochondrial genome of I. domestica, with a focus on its structure, gene content, repeat elements, and RNA editing sites.

Results

We used GetOrganelle and Unicycler software to hybrid assemble Nanopore and Illumina data to obtain the mitochondrial genome of I. domestica. The mitochondrial genome of I. domestica consists of four contigs: con
