Hi everybody We released few days ago the first release candidate for the plone4bio product. Here http://www.plone4bio.org/trac/ and there http://plone.org/products/plone4bio you will find all the relevant inforation.
In a nutshell, plone4bio is a project to provide an integrated environment where it is possible to manage and analyze sequences of proteome or genome. The plone4bio package provides the possibility to add a new content type, called sequence, than can be either written by hand or imported from a FASTA file, and to apply to that sequence a program, called predictor, that gives a back a plot of predicted probabilities for the sequence to have a given property (the property that the predictor tries to determine). A predictor can try to assess if a protein sequence is trans-membrane, whether a signal peptide exists, and so on. The plone4bio.base is a package that defines a skeleton predictor: deriving from that it is possible to integrate any other application and visualize all the results together. biocomp.pscoils is an example predictor, incapsulating the pscoils algorithm by Fariselli et al. available at http://www.biocomp.unibo.it/ It is intended both as an example on how to integrate one's own predictor in the plone4bio framework and as a predictor for coil-coil ready to be used. Enjoy. p.s.: by `We' I mean BioDec (http://www.biodec.com) an Italian company, specialized in bioinformatics.
