Abstract:
The seventh Japanese meeting on host-transposon interactions, titled "Biological Function and Evolution through Interactions between Hosts and Transposable Elements," was held on September 1st and 2nd, 2025, at the National Institute of Genetics, as well as online. This meeting was supported by the National Institute of Genetics and aimed to bring together researchers studying the diverse roles of transposable elements (TEs) in genome function and evolution, as well as host defense systems against TE mobility, TE bursts during evolution, and intron mobility in mammals, insects, land plants, fungi, and protozoa. Here, we present the highlights of these discussions.
