Abstract:
The third international conference on Transposable Elements (ICTE) was held 16-19 April 2016 in Saint Malo, France. Organized by the French Transposition Community (Research group of the CNRS: "Mobile genetic elements: from mechanism to populations, an integrative approach") and the French Society of Genetics, the conference's goal was to bring together researchers who study transposition in diverse organisms, using multiple experimental approaches. The meeting gathered 180 participants from all around the world. Most of them contributed through poster presentations, invited talks and short talks selected from poster abstracts. The talks were organized into six scientific sessions: "Taming mobile DNA: self and non-self recognition"; "Trans-generational inheritance"; "Mobile DNA genome structure and organization, from molecular mechanisms to applications"; "Remembrance of (retro)transposon past: mobile DNA in genome evolution"; and finally "The yin and the yang of mobile DNA in human health".
