In the age of big data, obtaining precise information about the research topic of interesting is extremely important. Keeping this in mind, this chapter focuses on providing a practical knowledge guide about computational tools and databases of transposable elements (TE) in plants. For that, we organize and present this text in three sections: (1) a discussion about tools and databases on this theme; (2) hands-on of how to use a few of them; (3) an exploratory data analysis on public TE data. Finally, we are going deep to present the main challenges and possible solutions to improve resources and tools.
