A relationship between transposable elements (TEs) and the eukaryotic stress response was suggested in the first publications describing TEs. Since then, it has often been assumed that TEs are activated by stress, and that this activation is often beneficial for the organism. In recent years, the availability of new high-throughput experimental techniques has allowed further interrogation of the relationship between TEs and stress. By reviewing the recent literature, we conclude that although there is evidence for a beneficial effect of TE activation under stress conditions, the relationship between TEs and the eukaryotic stress response is quite complex.

再次探讨转座因子与真核生物应激反应之间的关系。

在描述TEs的第一批出版物中提出了转座因子（TEs）与真核生物应激反应之间的关系。从那时起，人们通常认为TEs是由压力激活的，并且这种激活通常对生物体有益。近年来，新的高通量实验技术的出现使人们进一步质疑TE与压力之间的关系。通过回顾最近的文献，我们得出结论，尽管有证据表明在应激条件下TE活化具有有益作用，但TE与真核生物应激反应之间的关系非常复杂。
