The genome sequence of the Antarctic lanternfish, <i>Electrona antarctica</i> (Günther, 1878)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Electrona antarctica</i> (the Antarctic lanternfish; Chordata; Actinopterigii; Myctophiformes; Myctophidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,427.40 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.02 kilobases in length.
