转座因子是真核生物基因组的主要组成部分。研究它们是因为它们内在的生物学意义，也因为它们可以作为有价值的研究工具。在过去的一年里，发表了许多有趣的论文，涉及这些元素生物学的各个方面，并报道了一些新元素。其中有四个领域做出了特别有价值的贡献：转座的机制、转座的调控、转座因子作为研究工具的应用以及转座因子的生物学功能。
Transposable elements comprise a major fraction of eukaryotic genomes. They are studied both because of their intrinsic biological interest and because they can be exploited as valuable research tools. Many interesting papers dealing with various aspects of the biology of these elements have been published during the past year and a number of new elements have been reported. Four areas in which particularly valuable contributions have been made are the mechanisms of transposition, the regulation of transposition, the use of transposable elements as research tools, and the biological function of transposable elements.
