Abstract
Transposons are unusual segments of DNA that can affect genes and create new traits, helping to make every living thing special. Transposons have the amazing ability to move around within an organism’s DNA, and they can even travel between organisms! Transposons can be activated by stress, helping organisms to cope and adapt. Researchers are using transposons as special delivery systems to help cure diseases. Also, studying transposons can provide a lot of information on how the biodiversity of life on Earth has changed over millions of years. They can help each other in their journeys, practicing teamwork. The unique features of these “jumping” DNA segments even earned scientists a Nobel Prize for their discovery.
