Sometimes, these footprints alter gene expression (i.e., expression of the gene in which they have been left behind) even after their related TE has moved to another location on the genome.

As shown in Table 1 (adapted from Van Straalen & Roelofs, 2006), there is no clear correspondence between genome size and number of protein-coding genes—another indication that the number of ...
