    Definition "jumping gene (i.e. DNA sequences that move from one location on the genome to another, also know as transposon) that requires reverse transcription (i.e. the transcription of RNA into DNA) in order to transpose" Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: Pray, L.

    Comment Through reverse transcription, retrotransposons amplify themselves quickly to become abundant in eukaryotic genomes such as maize (49–78%) and humans (42%). They are only present in eukaryotes but share features with retroviruses such as HIV, for example, discontinuous reverse transcriptase-mediated extrachromosomal recombination
