DESCRIPTION:Transposable elements\, small mobile parts of our genomes\, we
 re at times considered junk DNA\, selfish DNA or parasitic DNA. Today we k
 now that their real effect in our genomes is more nuanced\, and they contr
 ibute to shape our genomes in unexpected ways. In my talk I will review th
 e history of their research\, their current status in Genomics\, and the o
 pen questions that still abound about them. \n
