Nearly half of the human genome is composed of transposable elements, which are sequences of DNA that are able to replicate and relocate in the genome. Previously, transposable elements have been considered 'junk' DNA in the human genome. However, research has shown that the ability to replicate and move has enabled these sequences to develop into new regulatory regions during evolution, particularly in early stages of development.
