The meeting provides a venue for cross-disciplinary discussions, with the goal of catalysing inter-disciplinary collaborations to address emerging questions in these scientific fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although often disparaged as \u201cjunk\u201d DNA, it is now undeniable that TE activity has significantly shaped the structure and function of all genomes, ranging from bacteria to humans. TEs are major drivers of genetic diversity and contribute to human disease. Remarkably, TE-derived sequences are also often co-opted by the host to play important roles in gene expression, early development, immunity, neuronal diversification, and, perhaps, aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Session topics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Genomics and evolution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transposon
