Abstract excerpt
In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the oval flounder Bothus myriaster was determined and a novel gene rearrangement was discovered. A striking finding was that eight genes encoded by the L-strand (ND6 and tRNA-Q, A, C, Y, S1, E, and P genes) were translocated to a position between tRNA-T and tRNA-F. Simultaneously, the original order of the rearranged genes Q-A-C-Y-S1-ND6-E-P was...
