In bacteria, genes that encode products with interdependent functions are often clustered in an operon, a single transcriptional unit. Transcription of the genes is generally blocked by binding of a specific repressor protein at a DNA site called an operator. Dissociation of the repressor from the operator is mediated by a specific small molecule, an inducer. These principles were first elucidated in studies of the lactose (lac) operon. The Lac repressor dissociates from the lac operator when the repressor binds to its inducer, allolactose.

Transposable elements have been demonstrated in many eukaryotes, including maize. Drosophila, yeast, and bacteria. Gene transposition in eukaryotic systems presents some strong similarities to and some distinct differences from transposition in bacteria. The first major distinction is that integration and excision are distinct processes in eukaryotes. Thus, the transposable element can be isolated in free form, often as a double-strand circular DNA. Second, replication of that DNA often involves the synthesis of an RNA intermediate. Both of these properties are seen in the retroviruses of vertebrates, perhaps the most widely studied class of eukaryotic transposable elements.
