4 Overview
5 --------
6
7 The *plone4bio* package provides the possibility to add a new content
8 type, called `sequence', than can be either written by hand or imported
9 from a FASTA file, and to apply to that sequence a program, called
10 `predictor', that gives a back a plot of predicted probabilites for the
11 sequence to have a given property (the property that the predictor tries
12 to determine).
13
14 A predictor can try to assess if a protein sequence is trans-membrane,
15 whether a signal peptide exists, and so on.
16
17 The *plone4bio.base* is a package that defines a skeleton
18 predictor: deriving from that it is possible to integrate any other
19 application and visualize all the results together.  A predictor can be
20 a pure Python program or another application wrapped to be usable by the
21 interface defined in the *plone4bio.base* package.
