The contribution of transposable elements (TEs) to genome structure and evolution as well
as their impact on genome sequencing, assembly, annotation and alignment has generated …

Rice, one of the most important food crops for humans, is the first crop plant to have its
genome sequenced. Rice whole-genome microarrays, genome tiling arrays and genome …

Rice, one of the world's most important food plants, has important syntenic relationships with
the other cereal species and is a model plant for the grasses. Here we present a map-based …

Rice, the primary source of dietary calories for half of humanity, is the first crop plant for
which a high-quality reference genome sequence from a single variety was produced. We …

Epigenetic mechanisms are crucial mediators of appropriate plant reactions to adverse
environments, but their involvement in long-term adaptation is less clear. Here, we …

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile, repetitive sequences that make up significant
fractions of metazoan genomes. Despite their near ubiquity and importance in genome and …

DNA transposons are known to frequently capture duplicated fragments of host genes. The
evolutionary impact of this phenomenon depends on how frequently the fragments retain …

Background Of the different bioinformatic methods used to recover transposable elements
(TEs) in genome sequences, one of the most commonly used procedures is the homology …

Small RNAs regulate the genome by guiding transcriptional and post-transcriptional
silencing machinery to specific target sequences, including genes and transposable …

We have developed a rice (Oryza sativa) genome annotation database (Osa1) that provides
structural and functional annotation for this emerging model species. Using the sequence of …
