Hello. I apologise to bother you, but if you don't mind, I'd like to ask a question regarding the article [[Transposable element]]. I believe it should include some information on the so-called Class III TEs, e.g. Foldback (FB) elements (see: Pierre Capy et al., ''Dynamics and Evolution of Transposable Elements'', 1998). What are your thoughts? Thank you very much. --[[User:Pinoczet|Pinoczet]] ([[User talk:Pinoczet|talk]]) 00:30, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
:{{re|Pinoczet}} From a quick overview I think you're right. The classification still seems to be uncommonly used recently though, so it may be worth looking into a little further. E.g. Some papers refer to [[miniature inverted repeat transposable elements|MITEs]] as Class III ([https://www.pnas.org/content/115/28/E6650.short example]), whereas others refer to MITEs as Class II ([https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-018-2376-y example]).

::Thank you for the reply. Yes, exactly. To my knowledge, the examples include Foldbacks, TU elements, and MITEs. It seems these transposable elements may be and actually are considered Class III TEs, at least by some researchers. However, I am not sure how this information should be properly added to the article. E.g. whether it deserves a separate subsection, or perhaps just a brief side note would be sufficient? Since I am not an expert in this field, I decided to contact you. Kind regards, --[[User:Pinoczet|Pinoczet]] ([[User talk:Pinoczet|talk]]) 04:45, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
