This conference builds on the highly successful previous editions and has emerged as the major European venue in this ever-growing cross-disciplinary research field. The 2027 &#8216;Mobile genome&#8217; conference will assemble recognized experts from diverse disciplines (e.g. genomics, epigenetics, structural biology, evolutionary biology, 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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dedicated discussion session focused on technological and conceptual advances will complement the programme to provide a forum for cross-disciplinary interaction among attendees with the goal of catalysing collaborative opportunities to address new questions and challenges in TE research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The evolutionary impact of TEs on genome structure and function<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Molecular insights into TE mobility mechanisms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The regulation of TE activity by host factors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New concepts in the physiological impact of TEs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The impact of TEs in cancer across species<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-sponsors\"><h2>Sponsors<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Media partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/journal\/14397633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>ChemBioChem,&nbsp;<\/em>a Wiley journal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciepublish.com\/journals\/imed\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>iMed<\/em>, a SciePublish journal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ojs.bonviewpress.com\/index.php\/MEDIN\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Medinformatics<\/em>, a Bon View Publishing journal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/royalsocietypublishing.org\/rsob?utm_source=EMBL+27&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=EMBL+27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Open Biology,&nbsp;<\/em>a Royal Society journal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The EMBO Journal<\/em>, an EMBO Press journal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We offer a variety of event sponsoring possibilities, with the flexibility to select a set sponsorship package or combine individual sponsorship options to suit your event budget.&nbsp;Discounts are available for companies sponsoring multiple events at EMBL Heidelberg.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.embl.org\/events\">View other conferences<\/a>, or contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:sponsorship@embl.de\">sponsorship@embl.org<\/a>&nbsp;for further information on sponsoring possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in becoming a media partner of this event, please visit our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/sponsor-an-event\/#vf-tabs__section-08208670-4ad4-45ca-a4ff-ac6edb6ffd0b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;media partnerships webpage.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><p><a href=\"mailto:sponsorship@embl-em.de?subject=%20Request%20a%20Sponsorship%20Brochure&#038;body=Please%20kindly%20send%20me%20the%20sponsorship%20brochure%20for%20(please%20indicate%20the%20event%20your%20are%20interested%20in).\" class=\"vf-button vf-button--primary vf-button--pill\">Request a sponsorship brochure<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vf-box vf-box--normal vf-box-theme--quaternary | vf-u-margin__bottom--400\">\n      <h3 class=\"vf-box__heading\">\n                Warning                  <\/h3> \n        <p class=\"vf-box__text\">EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials.
