Dynamics and evolution of the inverted repeat-large single copy junctions in the chloroplast genomes of monocots

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Various expansions or contractions of inverted repeats (IRs) in chloroplast genomes led to fluxes in the IR-LSC (large single copy) junctions. Previous studies revealed that some monocot IRs contain a <it>trnH-rps19 </it>...
