JUMPING GENES. “Transposable elements can contribute to functional divergence between duplicate genes in several ways. Transposable elements can mediate gene recombination by carrying coding sequences from one part of the genome to another, and can even themselves be incorporated into existing coding sequences. In addition, Transposable elements were recently found to be a source of micro-RNAs, major components of post-transcriptional regulation of expression.”
