The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Olea ferruginea

The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Olea ferruginea were reported in this study. The cpDNA of O. ferruginea is 155,531 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,279 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,790 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,731 bp. The genome contains 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 37.8%. Phylogenetic analysis of six chloroplast genomes within the genus Olea suggests that O. ferruginea is closely related to Olea europaea subsp. cuspidate.
