Transposable elements in the genomes: parasites, junks or drivers of evolution?

African journal of medicine and medical sciences - 1 Dec 2012

Gbadegesin M A

Abstract excerpt

In many organisms with large and complex genomes, transposable elements (TEs) constitute up to 50% of the genomic DNA. TEs have been widely studied and they showed high similarities across kingdoms. Several reasons have been adduced for the diverse TEs among plants and animal species. Activities of TEs could give rise to altered gene or genome at very high frequencies in both germinal and somatic tissues....
