Background  The mitogenomes of 12 teleost fish of the bothid family (order Pleuronectiformes) indicated that the genomic-scale rearrangements characterized in previous work. A novel mechanism of genomic rearrangement called the Dimer-Mitogenome and Non-Random Loss (DMNL) model was used to account for the rearrangement found in one of these bothids,  Crossorhombus azureus .    Results  The 18,170 bp mitogenome of  G. polyophthalmus  contains 37 genes, two control regions (CRs), and the origin of replication of the L-strand (O L ). This mitogenome is characterized by genomic-scale rearrangements: genes located on the L-strand are grouped in an 8-gene cluster ( Q - A - C - Y - S   1  - ND6 - E - P ) that does not include  tRNA - N ; genes found on the H-strand are grouped together ( F - 12S  …  CytB - T ) except for  tRNA - D  that was translocated inside the 8-gene L-strand cluster. Compared to non-rearranged mitogenomes of teleost fishes, gene organization in the mitogenome of  G. polyophthalmus  and in that of the other 12 bothids characterized thus far is very similar. These rearrangements could be sorted into four types (Type I, II, III and IV), differing in the particular combination of the CR,  tRNA - D  gene and 8-gene cluster and the shuffling of  tRNA - V . The DMNL model was used to account for all but one gene rearrangement found in all 13 bothid mitogenomes. Translocation of  tRNA - D  most likely occurred after the DMNL process in 10 bothid mitogenomes and could have occurred either before or after DMNL in the three other species. During the DMNL process, the  tRNA - N  gene was retained rather than the expected  tRNA - N′  gene.  tRNA - N  appears to assist in or act as O L  function when the O L  secondary structure could not be formed from intergenic sequences. A striking finding was that each of the non-transcribed genes has degenerated to a shorter intergenic spacer during the DMNL process. These findings highlight a rare phenomenon in teleost fish.    Conclusions  This result provides significant evidence to support the existence of dynamic dimeric mitogenomes and the DMNL model as the mechanism of gene rearrangement in bothid mitogenomes, which not only promotes the understanding of mitogenome structural diversity, but also sheds light on mechanisms of mitochondrial genome rearrangement and replication.
