Characterization of the complete chloroplast genomes of two Pachysandra species in the family Buxaceae [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources
Pachysandra is a small genus with only three species. In the present study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of two species in Pachysandra was assembled and annotated using the data sequenced by the Illumina HiSeq 2500 Sequencing System.
