  abstract = {{L}ong terminal repeat ({LTR})-retrotransposons comprise a significant portion of the rice genome. {T}heir complete characterization is thus necessary if the sequenced genome is to be annotated correctly. {I}n addition, because {LTR}-retrotransposons can influence the expression of neighboring genes, the complete identification of these elements in the rice genome is essential in order to study their putative functional interactions with the plant genes. {T}he aims of the database are to (i) {A}ssemble a comprehensive dataset of {LTR}-retrotransposons that includes not only abundant elements, but also low copy number elements. (ii) {P}rovide an interface to efficiently access the resources stored in the database. {T}his interface should also allow the community to annotate these elements. (iii) {P}rovide a means for identifying {LTR}-retrotransposons inserted near genes. {H}ere we present the results, where 242 complete {LTR}-retrotransposons have been structurally and functionally annotated. {A} web interface to the database has been made available (http://www.retroryza.org/), through which the user can annotate a sequence or search for {LTR}-retrotransposons in the neighborhood of a gene of interest.},
