The genome sequence of the turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Pleuronectiformes: Scophthalmidae)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: (Turbot; Chordata; Actinopteri; Pleuronectiformes; Scophthalmidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 550.28 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.74%) is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.73 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.
