PIF-like transposons are common in drosophila and have been repeatedly domesticated to generate new host genes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2007

Abstract excerpt

The P instability factor or PIF superfamily of DNA transposons constitutes an important group of transposable elements (TEs) in plants, but it is still poorly characterized in metazoans. Taking advantage of the availability of draft genome sequences for twelve Drosophila species, we discovered 4 different lineages of Drosophila PIF-like transposons, named DPLT1-4. These lineages have experienced a complex...
