[Transposable elements are the factors involved in various rearrangements and modifications of fungal genomes].
Data on transposable elements in fungal genomes are reviewed. Possible role of transposons in the pathogenetic processes and regulation of mating compatibility are discussed. The transposition-inducing factors and mechanisms responsible for transposition within the genome are considered.
