Integrated analysis of four new sequenced fern Chloroplast Genomes: Genome structure and Comparative Analysis. Athyrium brevifrons strain:D2

There are still many common ferns needed to be sequenced and reported, including D. goeringiana, A. brevifrons, and P. tripteron. Hence, chloroplast genome sequencing and comparative analysis about these three ferns species as well as D. crassirhizoma were performed. Moreover, the comparison analysis of simple sequence repeats (SSRs), nucleotide diversity, RNA editing events and phylogenetic analysis were conducted. We aimed to further uncover the chloroplast genomes in D. goeringiana, A. brevifrons, D. crassirhizoma, and P. tripteron, and to obtain clear comparison when compared with other reported ferns species.
