Transposable elements, or "jumping genes", were first identified ... it is not surprising that most of the transposon sequences in the human genome are silent, thus allowing this genome to remain ...

For decades, scientists dismissed transposable elements, also known as transposons or “jumping genes”, as ... To say that a DNA sequence is conserved means that the same TEs, or a family ...

This whole process is known as splicing. Introns can come in the form of transposable elements (TEs), also called “jumping genes,” which are DNA sequences that can move to other segments of the genome ...
