尤其是，他們跟蹤了轉位因子的位置。
These results indicated that degradative and transposable genes of the naphthalene-degrading bacteria are highly conserved.
這些結果表明，萘降解細菌的降解基因和轉座基因具有高度的保守性。
The scientists based this ancestral census on a reading of modern human genomes. In particular, they tracked the positions of transposable elements.
科學家們是解讀現代人類基因組後得出這個遠古數據的，他們還特別追蹤了轉位因子的位置。

When the going gets tough for agricultural plants, for instance, the number of transposable elements seems to decline.
ECONOMIST: Truly selfish genes
But Dr Nuzhdin reckons that it may hold a clue to the proliferation of different transposable elements in other organisms.
ECONOMIST: Truly selfish genes
Dr Nuzhdin thinks that the main reason why copia does not proliferate like this in wild populations is that natural selection keeps these transposable elements in check.
