In the past, they have been considered mainly\n                      <jats:italic>selfish DNA<\/jats:italic>\n                      without evident functions. Nevertheless, currently they are believed to have been extensively involved in the evolution of primate genomes, especially from a regulatory perspective. Due to their recent activity they are also one of the primary sources of structural variants (SVs) in the human genome. By taking advantage of sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools, recent surveys uncovered specific TE structural variants (TEVs) that gave rise to polymorphisms in human populations. When combined with RNA-seq data this information provides the opportunity to study the potential impact of TEs on gene expression in human.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In this work, we assessed the effects of the presence of specific TEs in\n                      <jats:italic>cis<\/jats:italic>\n                      on the expression of flanking genes by producing associations between polymorphic TEs and flanking gene expression levels in human lymphoblastoid cell lines. By using public data from the 1000 Genome Project and the Geuvadis consortium, we exploited an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) approach integrated with additional bioinformatics data mining analyses. We uncovered human loci enriched for common, less common and rare TEVs and identified 323 significant TEV-\n                      <jats:italic>cis<\/jats:italic>\n                      -eQTL associations. SINE-R\/VNTR\/Alus (SVAs) resulted the TE class with the strongest effects on gene expression. We also unveiled differential functional enrichments on genes associated to TEVs, genes associated to TEV-\n                      <jats:italic>cis<\/jats:italic>\n                      -eQTLs and genes associated to the genomic regions mostly enriched in TEV-\n                      <jats:italic>cis<\/jats:italic>\n                      -eQTLs highlighting, at multiple levels, the impact of TEVs on the host genome.
