Insights into population structure of East African sweetpotato cultivars from hybrid assembly of chloroplast genomes

Background: The chloroplast (cp) genome is an important resource for studying plant diversity and phylogeny. Assembly of the cp genomes from next-generation sequencing data is complicated by the presence of two large inverted repeats contained in the cp DNA. Methods: We constructed a complete circul...

Description
Summary:Background: The chloroplast (cp) genome is an important resource for studying plant diversity and phylogeny. Assembly of the cp genomes from next-generation sequencing data is complicated by the presence of two large inverted repeats contained in the cp DNA. Methods: We constructed a complete circular cp genome assembly for the hexaploid sweetpotato using extremely low coverage (
