The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Phlegmariurus carinatus.

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Phlegmariurus carinatus was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 150,349 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 100,582 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,455 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 15,156 bp. The genome contains 120 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 33 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 34.0%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 31.6%, 30.4%, and 44.2%, respectively. Further phylogenomic analysis showed that P. carinatus and Huperzia serrata clustered in a clade in family Lycopodiaceae.
