“TRANSPOSONS, jumping genes, transposable elements, are pieces of “foreign” DNA that can jump around a genome and from one genome to another genome, and resemble retroviruses like HIV. 90% of the maize genome is transposons and 50% of the human genome. They are key in causing Morning Glory variants.”
