The complete chloroplast genome of Calyptothecium hookeri (Pterobryaceae, Hypnales)

In this study, the complete chloroplast chloroplast genome of Calyptothecium hookeri was studied and reported. The size of the entire chloroplast genome was 124,401bp in length, comprising of two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb, 9371 bp respectively) separated by one large single copy (LSC: 87,126 bp) and one small single copy (SSC: 18,533 bp). The GC content of the genome sequence was 41.28%. A total of 126 functional genes were predicted, consisting of 82 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the two Pterobryaceae species C. hookeri and C. recurvulum clustered in one clade, which is sister to the Theliaceae species Myurella julacea.
