TE ecosystem of maize genome: huge variability between lines, insertion associated with accessible chromatin, dynamic TE expression with high tissue specificity and many more TE facts from @SpringerNathan #UppTransposon2020

@clementgoubert talk about unfixed TEs in human population. Interesting interplay between chromatin state, gene expression and TE insertions #UppTransposon2020

Transposons in asexually reproducing species, probably: #UppTransposon2020

What a fantastic yet unexplored world of TE novelties! TE - mRNA fusions and TE exonization are frequent in certain tissues (e.g. testis). These RNAs may produce new immunogenic peptides as well. Exciting findings in talk of E. Alice Lee at #UppTransposon2020

Cool symposium so far @alexander_suh! Lots of interesting topics about transposable elements, in a format that allows to be focused during all the different talks! Nice presentation @OMPalacios7! Here a screenshot! #UppTransposon2020

So cool story from @MollyHammell about TDP-43 protein and it’s role in silencing of TE expression #UppTransposon2020

Last TE-day! Let’s learn as much as we can! 👩🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍💻#UppTransposon2020 #Science #TE #phdlife #junkDNA

@CeciliaMimmi presenting right now about Repetitive elements and allopolyploidization at digital #upptransposon2020. Oh I missed conferences...

We are all excited for the #UppTransposon2020 meeting starting today - greetings from Dresden to all the TE friends

Nice talk by @MollyHammell Subgroup of ALS marked by elevated TEs. #UppTransposon2020

Thanks all for sticking around for the last session of the last day of #UppTransposon2020! Great talks + discussions! Here is the conference group photo in the typical 2020 style. Poster sessions ongoing, followed by concluding remarks + open discussion + socializing. Cheers!

Seemed appropriate to attend #upptransposon2020 whilst on the move. Very interesting talk from @rita_rebollo.

Great talk by @MollyHammell at #UppTransposon2020 — the plot thickens on transposon dysregulation in #ALS

The third and final day of #UppTransposon2020 will begin in 30 minutes! Exciting #transposon & #retrovirus talks + discussions, followed by virtual socializing. Looking forward!

Another successful #UppTransposon2020 day! Thanks to all speakers & participants for great #transposon & #retrovirus talks & discussions. Today's session is again concluded in an open discussion (still ongoing) - currently talking about horizontal transfers, ERVs, and icebergs.

My fav image from #UppTransposon2020 thus far (stolen from Saba Mottaghinia cool talk on koala endogenous retroviruses - watch out Mr President)

Our final invited talk at #UppTransposon2020 is by Alice Lee on her exciting research on transposon-fusion transcripts!

Next invited speaker at #UppTransposon2020 is @SpringerNathan talking about his exciting research on maize TE expression!

The 4th Uppsala Transposon Symposium will begin in 30 minutes! Looking forward to e-meeting you all and to hearing about your exciting #transposon and #retrovirus research. Please use the hashtag #UppTransposon2020 for Twitter coverage of the meeting.

Wow, sunshine in October in Uppsala! (view from my home office) We put the #UppTransposon2020 meeting series into the Swedish fall season on purpose, and now this: Good weather.. Looking forward to another day of exciting #transposon & #retrovirus research, followed by e-beers.
