The complete chloroplast genome of Epimedium brevicornu (Berberidaceae), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb

Epimedii Folium has been used as a common traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2000 years in China. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Epimedium brevicornu. The whole cp genome of E. brevicornu is 158,658 bp in length, comprising a pair of inverted repeat (IR)...

Sumario:Epimedii Folium has been used as a common traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2000 years in China. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Epimedium brevicornu. The whole cp genome of E. brevicornu is 158,658 bp in length, comprising a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (27,699 bp) separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (86,558 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (16,702bp). The E. brevicornu cp genome contains 129 genes, of which 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows that E. brevicornu is closely clustered with E. wushanense, E. lishihchenii, and E. sagittatum. The published E. brevicornu chloroplast genome will provide useful information for the phylogenetic and evolutionary study on Epimedium family of Berberidaceae.
