sibswiss/ucnebase repository overview

UCNEbase provides information on the evolution and genomic organization of ultra-conserved non-coding elements (UCNEs) in multiple vertebrate species. It currently covers 4351 such elements in 18 different species. Around half of these elements are located within intergenic regions (2’139) and the rest are located within non-coding parts of genes: introns (1’713) and UTRs (499). The majority of UCNEs are supposed to be transcriptional regulators of key developmental genes.

The container contains the web server as well as the database.

The container exposes the port 8081, so run the container with the command:

docker run -p 8081:8081 -d sibswiss/ucnebase:latest

The local container instance is accessible at http://localhost:8081/⁠

Download content of UCNEbase is included in the container, but can be found independently in Zenodo⁠
