Nanopore and Illumina sequencing, and chloroplast genome assembly of Verbesina alternifolia (Asteraceae)

Verbesina is the largest genus of tribe Heliantheae (Asteraceae), including important ornamental species or invasive weeds. We utilized Illumina and Nanopore sequencing, along with and different assembly strategies to reconstruct the plastome of Verbesina alternifolia and evaluated the usefulness of the Nanopore assemblies
