The complete chloroplast genome of Angelica nitida

AbstractAngelica nitida is an endemic species in China. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. nitida was generated by de novo assembly using whole genome next generation sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome was 146,512bp in length and constructed out of four parts – a large single copy (LSC) region of 93,298bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,068bp and two inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions of 17,573bp each. The genome annotation predicted a total of 113 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes revealed that A. nitida is most closely related to Angelica dahurica.
