What is Understanding Transposable Elements about?

Transposable elements are segments of DNA that can change positions within a genome. They are classified into two classes based on their mechanism of transposition - class I elements copy and paste themselves using an RNA intermediate while class II elements use a cut and paste mechanism. Transposable elements make up a large fraction of eukaryotic genomes and can cause mutations by inserting into genes, though they also play roles in genome evolution and development.
