Miniature form transposable elements (mTEs) are ubiquitous in plant genomes and directly linked to gene regulation and evolution. With the advantage of completely sequenced genomes of Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea, an open-source web portal called, BrassicaTED was developed. This database provides a user-friendly interface to explore invaluable information of mTEs in Brassica species and unique visualization and comparison tools. In this chapter, we describe an overview of this database construction and explain the utilities of data search, visualization, and analysis tools. In addition, we show the possible obstacles users may encounter when using this database.
微型可转座元件（mTEs）在植物基因组中普遍存在，并与基因调控和进化直接相关。利用 Brassica rapa 和 Brassica oleracea 完全测序的基因组的优势，开发了一个名为 BrassicaTED 的开源网络门户。该数据库提供了一个用户友好的界面，可用于探索 Brassica 物种中 mTEs 的宝贵信息，以及独特的可视化和比较工具。在本章中，我们将介绍该数据库构建的概述，并解释数据搜索、可视化和分析工具的用途。此外，我们还展示了用户在使用该数据库时可能遇到的一些障碍。
