<p><b>Mobile genetic elements</b> (<b>MGEs</b>), sometimes called <b>selfish genetic elements</b>, are a type of <a href="page.php?w=genetic_material">genetic material</a> that can move around within a genome, or that can be transferred from one species or <a href="page.php?w=replicon_%28genetics%29">replicon</a> to another. MGEs are found in all organisms. In humans, approximately 50% of the genome are thought to be MGEs. MGEs play a distinct role in evolution. Gene duplication events can also happen through the mechanism of MGEs. MGEs can also</p><p>
