The complete chloroplast genome of <i>Tinospora sinensis</i> and its phylogenetic analysis

<i>Tinospora sinensis</i> (Lour.) Merr. (Menispermaceae) is a medicinal plant with limited genomic resources available. Here, we assembled and annotated its 160,664 bp chloroplast genome, identifying 126 genes with a GC content of 39.31%. We detected 256 SSRs and 50 dispersed repeats, which represent potential molecular markers. IR boundary analysis showed slight expansions/contractions involving <i>rps19</i>, <i>ndhF</i>, and <i>ycf1</i>. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed its close evolutionary relationship with other <i>Tinospora</i> species. This is the first comprehensive genomic characterization of <i>T. sinensis</i>, providing valuable resources for taxonomy, evolution, and medicinal research in Menispermaceae.
