Abstract

The classification of mobile elements was discussed. Special attention was devoted to the retroelement of the LINE group: retrotransposon Bov-B LINE.

The results of the phenomenon of horizontal transition of the retrotransposon Bov-B LINE between evolutionally distant classes were discussed.
