Retrozymes are a family of retrotransposons first discovered in the genomes of plants but now also known in genomes of animals. Retrozymes contain a hammerhead ribozyme (HHR) in their sequences (and so the name retrozyme is a combination of retrotransposon and hammerhead ribozyme), although they do not possess any coding regions.
