Abstract
There are thousands of strongly conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) in vertebrate genomes, and their functions remain largely unknown. However, without biologically relevant criteria for prioritizing them, selecting a particular CNE sequences to study can be haphazard. To address this problem, we present cneViewer-a database and webtool that systematizes information on conserved non-coding DNA elements in zebrafish. A key feature here is the ability to search for CNEs that may be relevant to tissue-specific gene regulation, based on known developmental expression patterns of nearby genes. cneViewer provides this and other organizing features that significantly facilitate experimental design and CNE analysis.Entities:
