D. melanogaster transposable elements in Ensembl/Flybase annotations

Does anybody know if expressed transposable elements are included in the Ensembl/Flybase D. melanogaster gene annotations?

ensembl transposon annotation

Based on a previous response from @Emily_Ensembl Ensembl imports fly annotations in from FlyBase. You can check on FlyBase to see if they are included.

I have contacted FlyBase regarding this and indeed the expressed TEs are not part of the gene annotation.
