Conclusion and Acknowledgements 

Future Directions:

• Explored TE age classification in cancer datasets

• Found that evolutionarily older TEs are more commonly retained in cancerous samples

• Patterns may point to their potential as stable biomarkers

• In future work, aim to expand analysis to other cancer types

• Investigate how TEs contribute to gene regulation and tumor progression

• Integrating expression data and functional annotations, can better understand the roles TEs play in cancer
