The typical structure of a miniature inverted repeat transposable element. The length of MITE is between 50–800bp, and a complete MITE contains a pair of terminal inverted repeat(TIR) and a internal sequence. MITEs usually are flanked by a target site duplication(TSD). The following example sequence is a typical MITE sequence, the blue part is the TIR of MITE and the red part is the TSD
