: Genetic diversity within the chloroplast is considered a fundamental tool for understanding population genetic structure and species evolution. We report the assembly and public deposit of the full chloroplast DNA sequences of two genotypes of American elm, and their comparison with Asian elms. These sequences enabled us to identify highly polymorphic regions within the American elm chloroplast that can be used for future studies of genetic diversity, genetic structure, gene flow, hybridization, and genome evolution of American elm.
