    Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the process, viruses leave behind remnants throughout the genetic material (genomes) of humans. The virus-like insertions, called "transposable elements," are snippets of genetic material even simpler than viruses that also use host cell machinery to replicate.
