Description: The Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is found in the Atlantic, is among the largest teleost fish in the world, and is endangered due to a slow rate of growth and previous overfishing. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP project. Sequencing was conducted with PacBio long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics libraries at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by Olivier Fedrigo, using the VGP 1.6 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Genome coordination and funding was by Tony Einfeldt. The raw data and assembly are currently under a G10K-VGP publication embargo until removed from this description, following the G10K data use policy at the following URL: https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/data-use-policies/
