What is another word for SINEs?

Pronunciation: [sˈa͡ɪnz] (IPA)

SINEs, or Short Interspersed Elements, are a class of non-coding DNA sequences found in the genomes of many organisms. These sequences are characterized by their short length, ranging from 100 to 300 base pairs, and their ability to be amplified and transcribed by the host cell machinery. There are many synonyms for SINEs, including retrotransposable elements, transposable elements, mobile genetic elements, and repetitive DNA sequences. These terms refer to different aspects of SINEs, such as their ability to be copied and inserted elsewhere in the genome, their mobility, and their repetitive nature. Regardless of the term used, SINEs play important roles in genome evolution and function, and continue to be a topic of active research.
