The complete chloroplast genome characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Canarium album

Abstract Canarium album is one of the precious and characteristic fruit trees of China. In this study, we first presented the complete chloroplast genome of C. album by using BGISEQ-500 sequencing. Its complete chloroplast genome is 163,140？bp in size, containing a pair of inverted repeat regions of 30,729？bp, a large single copy region of 87,748？bp and a small single copy region of 13,934？bp. The chloroplast genome contains 117 unique genes, including 83 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete chloroplast genomes indicated that C. album was closest to Boswellia sacra
