DNA PARASITES jumping genes, (“junk DNA”, transposons) have a strongly beneficial aspect that probably outweighs their rarer pathological effects, and the host can borrow this invasive machinery for its own purposes. “transposable elements play an important role in the evolution of eukaryotic chromosome structure. Recruitment of transposable elements by the host for specific structures to perform novel functions is one of the structural functions.””
