Abstract
Transposable elements (TEs) are commonly thought to be of universal occurrence in eukaryotes. Analysis of complete higher eukaryotic genomes confirms TE status as substantial genome components and provides insights into their role in shaping the genome structure of extant eukaryotes. This review addresses several recently investigated problems in transposon biology, including potential roles of promoter organization in transposon function and evolution, the ubiquity of TEs in numerous phyla of the animal kingdom, and possible connections between transposon content and the mode of reproduction.
