The complete chloroplast genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of <i>Juniperus coxii, a</i> Near Threatened species
<i>Juniperus coxii</i> A. B. Jacks is a near threatened species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genomes of <i>J. coxii,</i> which was 127,588 bp in length, with a GC content of 35.1%. A total of 122 genes were annotated, including 82 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs, and no inverse repeats. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that <i>J. coxii</i> and <i>J. pingii</i> form a sister group, and were nested in the monophyletic clade of the genus <i>Juniperus</i>. The chloroplast genome of <i>J.coxii</i> will provide useful genetic resources for further evolutionary studies of the genus <i>Juniperus.</i>
