Retrotransposon are jumping genes (i.e. genes that are not always found in the same place on a chromosome) that have a similar lifestyle to viruses like HIV (the AIDS virus). This means that their DNA is copied into an RNA molecule (just like a regular gene) and the information in the RNA is used to make proteins.
