Copies of transposable elements interspersed throughout the genome, some of which are still active and often referred to as "jumping genes". There are two classes of interspersed repetitive elements. Class I elements (or retroelements - such as retrotransposons, retroviruses, long interspersed nucleotide elements and short interspersed nucleotide elements) transpose via reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. Class II elements (or DNA transposable elements- such as transposons, Tn elements, insertion sequence elements and mobile gene cassettes of bacterial integrons) transpose directly from one site in the DNA to another.
