Abstract

This study is an example of collaborative faculty-student scholarship: the students are first authors, the faculty last (i.e., supervising) author. It describes the results of a large data mining study in which more than 200 plant plastid genomes were analyzed. The results of this study indicate that the quality of plant plastid genome data often depends on how evenly and deeply the DNA was sequenced, which is influenced by the type of genome and laboratory methods employed.
