| 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. |

| 23 | | Developer Notes |
| 24 | | --------------- |
| 25 | | |
| 26 | | The plone4bio* plone products are mainly developed on Debian Stable, so |
| 27 | | they are mainly tested in that environment. Usually there should be no |
| 28 | | problem in installing the products in GNU/Linux Zope/Plone environments. |
| 29 | | |
| 30 | | This product is produced independently from the product Plone, and carries no |
| 31 | | guarantee from the Plone Foundation about quality, suitability or anything |
| 32 | | else. The supplier of this product assumes all responsibility for it. |
