High-throughput sequencing of chloroplast genomes has been used to gain insight into the
evolutionary relationships of plant species. In this study, we sequenced the complete …

Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequences of plant species often contain an abundance of
reads that are derived from the chloroplast genome. Up to now these reads have generally …

Abstract The Chloroplast Genome Database (ChloroplastDB) is an interactive, web-based
