In plants, Tourist and Stowaway are the main representatives of a class of these entities calledMITES. The Tc1/Mariner superfamily of these entities was used to construct the synthetic SleepingBeauty system of these. Locations where these entities had been are often identified by short directsequence repeats. In primates, the most common of these belong to the (*) Alu family. Members ofClass I [one] of these entities sometimes contain long terminal repeats, and they may be classified asSINES if they are transcribed by RNA polymerase III or LINES if they encode reverse transcriptase. Thefirst of these discovered was the Ac/Ds system found in maize by Barbara McClintock. For 10 points,name these mobile genetic elements often nicknamed "jumping genes."
