Abstract
Although transposable elements (TEs) have been regarded as genomic parasites, accumulating evidence suggests that they can also have beneficial roles in evolution of diverse biological processes. In this review, we focus on epigenetic control of TEs as sources of selectable phenotypic variation, with an emphasis on their connections to defense responses.Mesh：
