摘要
A substantial fraction of the genome of most eukaryotes, including those of metazoan parasites, is predicted to comprise repetitive sequences. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) will make up much of these repetitive sequences, particularly the interspersed sequences. This article reviews information on MGEs that have colonized the genomes of metazoan parasites (i.e. parasites of parasites). Helminth and mosquito genomes, in particular, are compared with those of better-understood model organisms. MGEs from the genomes of metazoan parasites can be expected to have practical uses in transgenesis and epidemiological studies.
