Comparative chloroplast genomes of species: genome evolution and phylogenomic implications.

The genus Hill belongs to the tribe Potentilleae Sweet and contains approximately 75 species predominantly distributed in the Sino-Himalayan region and the Malesian archipelago. So far we have less knowledge on the phylogenetic relationships within owing to limited sampling of taxa or gene fragments in previous studies. Moreover, to date there is no phylogenetic study on from the perspective of comparative chloroplast (cp) genomics.
