title: MDTE DB: a database for microRNAs derived from Transposable element.
abstract: MicroRNAs are crucial regulators of gene expression at post-transcriptional level. Understanding origin and evolution of miRNAs and their functions. Transposable elements (TEs) provide a natural mechanism for the origin of new miRNAs derived from TEs (MDTEs) were collected to contruct a database named MDTE database (MDTE DB) for storing, searching and analyzing MDTEs. The database proveds a convenient source for studying the origin and evolution of miRNAs.
