MobiDB-lite Docker

MobiDB-lite is a lightweight tool for predicting intrinsic disorder in proteins. This guide explains how to build and use the Dockerized version of MobiDB-lite 4.0

Building the Docker image

Before running the tool, you need to build the Docker image.

Step 1: clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/BioComputingUP/MobiDB-lite_docker.git
cd MobiDB-lite_docker

Step 2: Build the Docker image

docker build -t mobidb-lite .

This creates a Docker image named mobidb-lite

Pulling the Docker image from docker hub

Alternatively you can find the docker image here.

Running MobiDB-lite in Docker

Once the image is built, you can use it to analyze multi-fasta files.

Basic usage

docker run --rm -v $PWD:/data mobidb-lite [options] [input_file] [output_file]

Note: It is better to use the option "--force" , so that even if any of the predictors fail, the consensus is still calculated.

Example:

docker run --rm -v $PWD:/data mobidb-lite --force /data/example/first10sp.fasta /data/example/output.tsv

To calculate the ensemble properties, you must specify --extra option with --format mobidb:

docker run --rm -v $PWD:/data mobidb-lite --force --extra --format mobidb /data/example/first10sp.fasta /data/example/output.mjson
