摘要

Transposable elements in bacteria are short segments of DNA-composed of hundreds to thousands of nucleotides that behave like small fairytale elfins who are always willing to relocate.Those small elements,having evolved for billions of years,are so successful that they occupy an extremely large proportion of genomes of living organisms,for example up to 50％ of the human genome.
