In genetics they also call it jumping gene, particle with genetic information, a DNA sequence of a chromosome that can alter the order of the genome or introduce new information into it. The transposition of genetic information can now be natural or provocative. Transposon was discovered by American scientist Barbara McClintock studying corn chromosomes during the 1940s and 1950s. So changes can now be made to an organism's genome.
