Complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of Iris confusa (Iridaceae)

Iris confusa Sealy is highly valued for its ornamental and medicinal applications. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of I. confusa obtained using Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete circular genome of I. confusa is 152,470 bp in length and contains a large single-copy region (83,251 bp), a small single-copy region (18,503 bp), and two short inverted repeat regions (25,358 bp). The genome sequence encodes 133 genes including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 38 transfer RNA genes. This study will facilitate the understanding of chloroplast genome features of genus Iris and contribute to further studies on phylogenetic analyses.
