Resumo: Transposable elements (TEs) are regarded as a kind of movable DNA Sequence with multiple copy number in genome that call be transmitted by the help of specific transcriptase. TEs account for a large part of host genome in the maps of Sequenced insect species. Many studies including new function, chromatin mollification, mermline protection, and involvement with hosts' co-Evolution are being carried out nowadays. Owing to the profound understanding of TEs, transposon-mediated transgenic techniques are available to manipulate insect Genetically Moreover. TEs call be applied as a scale to analyze the phylogenic relationship.
