MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial regulators of gene expression at post-transcriptional level. Understanding origin and evolution of miRNAs will improve the current available algorithmfor the prediction of novel miRNAs and their functions. Transposable elements (TEs) provide a naturalmechanismfor the origin of new miRNAs. In the paper, 2,583 miRNAs derived from TEs (MDTEs) were collected to construct a database named MDTE database (MDTE DB) for storing, searching, and analyzingMDTEs. The database provides a convenient source for studying the origin and evolution of miRNAs.
