The genome sequence of the thickback sole, Microchirus variegatus (Donovan, 1808) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Microchirus variegatus (the thickback sole; Chordata; Actinopteri; Pleuronectiformes; Soleidae). The genome sequence is 724.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 23 chromosomal
