Transposable elements, DNA transposons and retrotransposons are DNA sequences capable of movement within the genome. It is assumed that they play one of their key roles in adaptive and evolutionary processes. One of the most studied groups of DNA transposons is the infraclass ITm, and in particular the superfamily Tc1/mariner. In this work, we considered the representation, structure, and evolution of Tc1/mariner DNA transposons in the jellyfish Aurelia aurita. It was found that the predominant
