Abstract
Transposons are mobile genetic elements that contribute to the dynamic nature of chromosomes. Mechanistically similar, transposable elements make up a diverse classification including bacterial insertion sequences and composite transposons and eukaryotic excision/insertion transposons and retroelements.Keywords
