Scope note: Copias de elementos invertibles entremezclados en todo el genoma, algunas de las cuales todavía están activas y a menudo se denominan "genes saltarines". Existen dos clases de elementos repetitivos entremezclados. Los elementos de clase I (o retroelementos - tales como los retrotransposones, los retrovirus, los ELEMENTOS NUCLEOTÍDICOS INTERCALADOS LARGOS y los ELEMENTOS NUCLEOTÍDICOS INTERCALADOS CORTOS) que trasponen vía trascripción inversa de un intermediario de ARN. Los elementos de clase II (o ELEMENTOS TRANSPONIBLES DE ADN - como los transposones, los elementos Tn, los elementos de secuencia de inserción y las casetes de genes móviles de integrones bacterianos) que se invierten directamente desde un lugar a otro del ADN.

Scope note: Copies of transposable elements interspersed throughout the genome, some of which are still active and often referred to as "jumping genes". There are two classes of interspersed repetitive elements. Class I elements (or RETROELEMENTS - such as retrotransposons, retroviruses, LONG INTERSPERSED NUCLEOTIDE ELEMENTS and SHORT INTERSPERSED NUCLEOTIDE ELEMENTS) transpose via reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. Class II elements (or DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS - such as transposons, Tn elements, insertion sequence elements and mobile gene cassettes of bacterial integrons) transpose directly from one site in the DNA to another.
