The chloroplast genome is important for plant development and plant evolution. Nelumbo nucifera is one member of relict plants surviving from the late Cretaceous. Recently, a new sequencing platform PacBio RS II, known as ‘SMRT (Single Molecule, Real-Time) sequencing’, has been developed. | Nội dung Text A precise chloroplast genome of Nelumbo nucifera Nelumbonaceae evaluated with Sanger Illumina MiSeq and PacBio RS II sequencing platforms Insight into the plastid evolution of basal eudicots
