First genome of a deep-sea notacanthid fish, Notacanthus arrontei (Notacanthiformes; Notacanthidae)

We present the first genome assembly of the recently described deep-sea spiny eel, Notacanthus arrontei (Notacanthiformes: Notacanthidae). The whole genome was assembled using Illumina short-read sequencing approaches. The raw data and assembled genome are publicly available under the NCBI Accession Number JBQVWD000000000 under BioProject Accession PRJNA1294845.
