Recent studies have demonstrated that transposable elements in maize and Drosophila are spliced from pre-mRNA. These transposable element introns represent the first examples of recent addition of introns into nuclear genes. The eight reported examples of transposable element splicing include member
Previous models of the evolution of selfish transposable genetic elements have failed to include the possibility that transposition may be limited by shortage of a host-encoded factor. The titration of host factors may be important in limiting the rate of transpositional increase in these elements.
