This conference builds on the highly successful 2021 and 2023 Mobile Genome EMBO workshops, the latest in a series which has emerged as the major European fixture for this ever-growing cross-disciplinary research field. The 2025 Mobile Genome conference will assemble recognized experts from diverse disciplines (e.g., genomics, epigenetics, structural biology, evolutionary biology, and developmental biology), as well as the next generation of scientists who will become leaders in the field, to discuss the broad impact of TEs on organismal biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> A dedicated discussion session focused on technological and conceptual advances will augment the program to provide a forum for cross-disciplinary interaction among attendees with the goal of catalyzing collaborative opportunities to address new questions and challenges in TE research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\">\n\n\n\n<p>This event has been granted the following <a
