Transposable elements are dispersed repeat sequences scattered throughout the genome that are capable to move from one locus to another and replicate themselves in a given genome. These mutagens impact the structure and function of the genome they occupy, but as major components of genomes they have been the principle driving force for their role in evolution with both beneficial as well as negative impacts on the host fitness. The transposable elements provide the potential conditions for the emergence of new genes, modify gene expression, and adaptation to new environmental challenges....
