Jumping Genes (Transposable Elements): A Comprehensive Review of Their Molecular Mechanisms, Evolutionary Impact and Applications in Livestock and Biomedicine
Dhruv Bhatia, Prakashji Thakor, Pankti J Naik & Brijal C Barot · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2025
Transposable elements (TEs), commonly referred to as “jumping genes,” are discrete DNA fragments capable of mobilization within the genome, often creating new copies during transposition. Once considered non-functional “junk DNA,” TEs are now recognized as essential regulators of...
