The Electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is found in South America. It is not actually an eel, but belongs to the knifefish order. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP project. Sequencing was conducted with Pacific long reads, Bionano optical maps, 10X Genomics libraries, Arima Genomics HiC, and Illumina short reads at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden led by Gene Myers group. Genome assembly was conducted by Martin Pippel, using the VGP 1.6 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Funding was raised by Gene Myers. 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/
