A transposable element (TE or transposon) is a DNA sequence that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic identity and genome size. ... Barbara McClintock's discovery of these jumping genes earned her a Nobel Prize in 1983.
The explanation for this phenomenon involves "jumping genes" or transposons, and earned Dr. Barbara McClintock the prestigious Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1983 for her life-long research on corn genetics. Transposons are genes that move from one location to another on a chromosome.
