Genutis et al. used data from an hybrid Drosophila cell line to show that pairing among trans homologous chromosomes was affected by the presence of nearby TEs. Mouse data show a similar pattern, suggesting a highly conserved TE-pairing association.

Haplotype-Resolved Chromatin Conformation Data Reveals Relationship Between Transposable Elements and Chromosomal Pairing
Abstract. Chromosomal structural changes happen when genomic stability is compromised, such as in disease or in species hybrids. In these contexts, diminis
