The genome sequence of the highfin lizardfish, <i>Bathysaurus mollis</i> Günther, 1878 (Aulopiformes: Bathysauridae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual <i>Bathysaurus mollis</i> (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.
