The sixth Japanese meeting on host–transposon interactions, titled “Biological Function and Evolution through Interactions between Hosts and Transposable Elements,” was held on August 24th and 25th, 2023, 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 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, yeast, protozoa, and bacteria. Here, we have presented the highlights of the discussion. Organizers: Kenji Ichiyanagi, Yoko Ikeda, and Kuniaki Saito.

第六届日本会议通过宿主和转座因子之间的相互作用进行生物功能和进化

第六届日本宿主-转座子相互作用会议，题为“宿主与转座子之间相互作用的生物功能和进化”，于 2023 年 8 月 24 日至 25 日在国立遗传学研究所和网上举行。这次会议得到了国家遗传学研究所的支持，旨在聚集研究人员，研究 TE 在基因组功能和进化中的不同作用，以及针对 TE 移动性、进化过程中 TE 爆发以及哺乳动物、昆虫的内含子移动性的宿主防御系统、陆地植物、酵母、原生动物和细菌。在这里，我们介绍了讨论的要点。组织者：市柳健二、池田洋子、齐藤国明。
