The Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Sainfoin
Seeds of sainfoin was kept at the Forage Germplasm Bank at Institute of Animal Science of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (Beijing, E11629', N4003'). Sainfoin was cultivated to Lang Fang City in 2019, and young leaves were collected from Lang Fang City, Hebei province, China (E 11641',N3931'). The voucher specimen (FR003) were deposited at the Herbarium of the Department of Grassland at IAS-CAAS, Beijing, China. Total genomic DNA was extracted from the fresh leaves of sainfoin with a DNA Extraction Kit from Tiangen Bio Tech Co., Ltd (Beijing, China). With using the Illumina Novaseq PE150 platform (Illumina Inc, San Diego),the DNA sample was sequenced. The software GetOrganelle v1.5 (Jin et al. 2018) was used to assemble the cleaned reads into a complete chloroplast genome, with the chloroplast genome of Medicago truncatula (GenBank accession number: NC-003119) as a reference. The complete chloroplast genome of sainfoin was annotated by the online program CPGAVAS2 (Shi et al. 2019) and GeSeq (Tillich et al. 2017), and then submitted to GenBank with the accession number MT528597.
