Description
Summary:The classification system of transposable elements is shortly reviewed. Special attention is paid to the retrotransposon Bov-B LINE, a retroelement of the LINE group. The history of its origin and distribution in nature is discussed. Data indicating the phenomenon of horizontal transfer of the retrotransposon Bov-B LINE between evolutionarily distant classes are given.
