The Rice Annotation Project Database (RAP-DB) was created to provide the genome sequence assembly of the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP), manually curated annotation of the sequence, and other genomics information that could be useful for comprehensive understanding of the rice biology. Since the last publication of the RAP-DB, the IRGSP genome has been revised and reassembled. In addition, a large number of rice-expressed sequence tags have been released, and functional genomics resources have been produced worldwide. Thus, we have thoroughly updated our genome annotation by manual curation of all the functional descriptions of rice genes. The latest version of the RAP-DB contains a variety of annotation data as follows: clone positions, structures and functions of 31 439 genes validated by cDNAs, RNA genes detected by massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS) technology and sequence similarity, flanking sequences of mutant lines, transposable elements, etc. Other annotation data such as Gnomon can be displayed along with those of RAP for comparison. We have also developed a new keyword search system to allow the user to access useful information. The RAP-DB is available at: http://rapdb.dna.affrc.go.jp/ and http://rapdb.lab.nig.ac.jp/.
水稻注释项目数据库（RAP-DB）旨在提供国际水稻基因组测序计划（IRGSP）的基因组序列组装、序列的人工注释以及其他有助于全面了解水稻生物学的基因组学信息。自上次发布RAP-DB以来，IRGSP基因组已被修订和重新组装。此外，大量水稻表达序列标签已被发布，全球范围内也产生了功能基因组学资源。因此，我们通过人工整理水稻基因的所有功能描述，对基因组注释进行了全面更新。最新版本的RAP-DB包含以下各种注释数据：通过cDNA验证的31439个基因的克隆位置、结构和功能、通过大规模平行签名测序（MPSS）技术和序列相似性检测到的RNA基因、突变体系的侧翼序列、转座元件等。其他注释数据如Gnomon可以与RAP的数据一起显示以供比较。我们还开发了一个新的关键词搜索系统，以便用户获取有用信息。RAP-DB可在以下网址获取：http://rapdb.dna.affrc.go.jp/ 和http://rapdb.lab.nig.ac.jp/ 。
