... Moreover, a number of factors are thought to contribute to biases in TE insertion sites, including local DNA sequence and structure (Yant et al. 2005). Intriguingly, regions that are relatively highly expressed may also be biased towards TE or retroviral integration (Wu et al. 2003; Campos-Sanchez et al. 2014). Therefore, to the extent that expression levels increase TE insertion probability, actively expressed genes responding to an environmental stressor may also provide biased targets for mutational change. ...
