Abstract
Transposable Elements (TEs) play important roles in the evolution of eukaryotic organisms. TEs widely distribute depending on their properties present in the genome. This study elucidated the molecular characteristics of TEs in land plants and animals using bioinformatics and in silico mutational approach. We discovered that the GC-rich class I TEs is the predominant class of TEs in animal, but the AT-rich class II TEs is prevalent in plants. The GC-rich class I TEs appears to be evolved within the animals. On contrary, the preserved in AT-rich in class II TEs is believed to be contributed in host defence systems.
