Different genome insertion preferences for three types of transposable elements. A diagram depicting the preference of insertion site selection for LTR transposons, I-element and P-element in D. melanogaster. LTR transposon insertions prefer active proximal promoters and H3K36me3 marked gene bodies, possibly due to the tethering by transcription factors and PWWM-domain-containing proteins like dP75. I-element tends to reside close to centromeres. P-element integration is likely driven by replication origins with open chromatin.
