  abstract = {{T}ransposable elements are ubiquitous components of plant genomes. {W}hen active, these mobile elements can induce changes in the genome at both the structural and functional levels. {A}vailability of the complete genome sequence for several model plant species provides the opportunity to study {TE}s in plants at an unprecedented scale. {I}n the case of rice, annotation of the genomic sequence of the variety {N}ipponbare has revealed that {TE}-related sequences form more than 25% of its genome. {H}owever, most of the elements found are inactive, either because of structural alterations or because they are the target of various silencing pathways. {I}n this paper, we propose a new post-genomic strategy aimed at identifying active {TES}. {O}ur approach relies on transcript profiling of {TE}-related sequences using a tiling microarray. {W}e applied it to a particular class of {TES}, the {LTR} retrotransposons. {A} transcript profiling assay of rice calli led to identification of a new transpositionally active family, named {L}ullaby. {W}e provide a complete structural description of this element. {W}e also show that it has recently been active in planta in rice, and discuss its phylogenetic relationships with {T}os17, the only other active {LTR} retrotransposon described so far in the species.},
