Each sequence from seq data in fasta format is processed, and toppred generate the Hydrophobycity profile of the sequence, and the corresponding hydrophobycities values in the file sequence-ID.hydro.
Furthermore, the predicted topologies are represented as png images. Each topology is stored in file sequence-ID-number.png
The hydrophobicity profile is computed using a window formed by a core rectangular window of size n, flanked by 2 triangular windows of size q. NB rectangular and triangular mean that the ponderation values inside those windows are respectively constant and variable.
