Abstract Background: The Oryza sativa L. indica subspecies is the most widely cultivated rice. During the last few years, we have collected over 20,000 putative full-length cDNAs and over 40,000 ESTs isolated from various cDNA libraries of two indica varieties Guangluai 4 and Minghui 63. A database of the rice indica cDNAs was therefore built to provide a comprehensive web data source for searching and retrieving the indica cDNA clones. Results: Rice Indica cDNA Database (RICD) is an online MySQL-PHP driven database with a user- friendly web interface. It allows investigators to query the cDNA clones by keyword, genome position,
