The complete chloroplast genome of the green microalgae Dunaliella salina strain SQ

摘要

AbstractThe complete chloroplast genome of the microalgae Dunaliella salina strain SQ was determined in this study. The total length of the chloroplast genome is 243,635?bp with 29.73% GC content. The genome is composed by a small single copy (SSC) region of 101,527?bp and a large single-copy region of 107,815?bp separated by two inverted repeats (IR) regions of 17,145?bp. A total of 98 genes were annotated, including 66 coding genes, 3 rRNAs, and 29 tRNAs. This complete plastid genome can be used to elucidate genetic variations in organellar genomes between D. salina strains.
