PlastidHub: An integrated analysis platform for plastid phylogenomics and comparative genomics.

ABSTRACT: The plastid genome (plastome) represents an indispensable molecular resource for studying plant phylogeny and evolution. Although plastome size is much smaller than that of nuclear genomes, accurately and efficiently annotating and utilizing plastome sequences remain challenging. Therefore, a streamlined phylogenomic pipeline spanning plastome annotation, phylogenetic reconstruction and comparative genomics would greatly facilitate research utilizing this important organellar genome. Here, we develop PlastidHub, a novel web application employing innovative tools to analyze plastome sequences. In comparison with existing tools, key novel functionalities in PlastidHub include: (1) standardization of quadripartite structure; (2) improvement of annotation flexibility and consistency; (3) quant
