To Evolutionary Biologists Interested in Mobile DNA:

The eighth edition of the Mobile Genetic Elements meeting in
Woods Hole, MA, USA will take place from Thursday, August 28 to
Saturday, August 30, 2025, at the Marine Biological Laboratory
(MBL). Registration and abstract submission are available at:
https://www.eventsquid.com/event.cfm?id=3D28372 This meeting brings
together experimental and computational scientists seeking to narrow
the gap between the fast-paced discovery of transposable elements
in silico and the limited number of experimental models amenable
to functional studies of structural, mechanistic, and regulatory
properties of transposable elements and their impact on prokaryotic and
eukaryotic hosts.  The deadline for talk abstract submission is Friday,
July 25, 2025. Abstracts submitted after this date will be accepted only
as posters.  Online registration ends August 7, 2025 at 6 pm EDT. Late
registrants can register after this date by emailing conferences@mbl.edu,
however accommodations are limited.  We hope that you'll join us and/or
invite your associates to participate.  Looking forward to seeing you
in Woods Hole in August!

Your 2025 organizers:
