developmental stages, will likely provide novel insights into the relationship
between interspersed TEs sequences, chromatin structure, and genetic regula-
tion. We anticipate that, despite the scientific advances that await us, no
simplistic, pithy description of the host-element relationship will emerge. At
best, we only be able to more deeply appreciate the complex relationship
dynamic, where cooperation, antagonism, and serendipity each have their roles.
