Mos1 is one of these that belong to the Mariner/TC1 family, and an example produced in-vitro is called the "Sleeping Beauty" system. The Tn family forms composite structures of these entities, while one widespread example leads to hybrid dysgenesis in fruitflies, that being the P element. Their ends often possess inverted repeats, and, in a similar fashion to certain viruses, one type uses a reverse transcript to "copy and paste" DNA, known as the retro type. For 10 points, identify these entities discovered in maize by Barbara McClintock, that are also called jumping genes.
