Article 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".

Motivation: Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play an important role in facilitating the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) within microbial communities, significantly impacting the evolution of antibiotic resistance. Understanding the mechanism and trajectory of ARG acquisition requires a comprehensive analysis of the ARG-carrying mobilome-a collective set of MGEs carrying ARGs. However, identifying the mobilome within complex microbiomes poses considerable challenges.

The type III secretion system in Pseudomonas syringae complex pathogens delivers type III effectors (T3Es) into plant cells to manipulate host processes, enhance survival, and promote disease. While substantial research has focused on herbaceous pathogens, T3Es in strains infecting woody hosts are less understood. This study investigates the HopBL family of effectors in Pseudomonas savastanoi, a pathogen of woody plants.

Health risks related to 900 MHz 2 G frequency exposure remain inconclusive under current regulatory standards. Research into potential long-term effects is ongoing, particularly as the use of mobile networks and wireless devices increases. This study investigates the effects of non-thermal exposure levels of mobile phone 900 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) on rodent neurodevelopment.

the causative agent of cholera, has triggered seven pandemics, with the seventh pandemic emerging in 1961. The success of seventh pandemic El Tor (7PET) as a human pathogen is linked to its acquisition of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) like the CTXΦ prophage and pathogenicity island 1 (VPI-1). Additional MGEs, including VPI-2 and the seventh pandemic islands (VSP-I and VSP-II), are thought to have further enhanced the pathogen's virulence potential.

Background: Glioblastoma, the most common primary malignant brain tumor, has a median survival of less than two years. This is due in part to a subpopulation of cells called glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), which drive tumor recurrence. Transposable elements (TEs) are expressed at higher levels in cancer stem cells, enhancing the oncogenic potential and plasticity of cells through changes in gene expression, fusion transcript generation, and genomic rearrangement.
