Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual Bathysaurus mollis (highfin lizardfish; Chordata; Actinopteri; Aulopiformes; Bathysauridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 065.77 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.16%) is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.68 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops resemble the...
