The consequence of TE distribution on the epigenetic control of gene expression due to changes in methylation of histones and DNA across species, tissues of the same organisms, and stimuli or circumstances. A The epigenetic control of a particular gene is altered by the varied distribution of TEs in evolution. TE element controls gene expression by influencing the local chromatin state due to changes in methylation of histones and DNA. B The expression of a particular gene is impacted by the differential redistribution of TEs in various cells and tissues of the same organism during development. C The expression of a certain gene is influenced by the relocalization of TEs sequence in the same cell following a particular stimulus or circumstance
