JUMPING GENES, “Junk DNA”, transposable elements (TE), or the selfish genes. “Transposable elements (TEs) can be seen as selfish genetic entities, the spread of which can be deleterious to the host cell due to the genomic instability that is induced by a massive increase in copy number. As a result of the conflicting interests of TEs and the host genome, the cell has developed various processes to control retrotransposon activity.””
