The complete chloroplast genome of (L.) Kurz (Lecythidaceae).

Genomic resources for (L.) Kurz, a pantropical beach forest species native to the Philippines, have not been published to date, despite its medicinal importance and potential for biomedical applications. In this study, we assembled and characterized the first complete chloroplast genome of using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology.

Liquid-nitrogen-free CTAB DNA extraction method from silica-dried specimens for next-generation sequencing and assembly.

Next-generation sequencing requires intact and high-quality DNA. However, typical liquid-nitrogen DNA extraction methods are expensive and not practical for field sample collections. Hence, we present a cost-effective method for DNA extraction from silica-dried leaf samples, eliminating the need for liquid nitrogen.
