Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Houttuynia cordata Thunb and phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT: In this study, I presented the chloroplast genome of Houttuynia cordata Thunb using BGISEQ-500 sequencing data. Its chloroplast genome is 160,226 bp in size. It contains a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,853 bp, each separating a small single copy region of 18,340 bp and a large single copy region of 88,180 bp. Totally, 112 unique genes, including 78 protein coding genes, 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs, were identified and annotated in the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic maximum likelihood analysis indicated that H. cordata Thunb is closest to Piper cenocladu.
