#' Prediction of amyloids
#'
#' Amyloids are proteins associated with the number of clinical disorders (e.g.,
#' Alzheimer's, Creutzfeldt-Jakob's and Huntington's diseases). Despite their
#' diversity, all amyloid proteins can undergo aggregation initiated by 6- to
#' 15-residue segments called hot spots. Henceforth, amyloids form unique,
#' zipper-like beta-structures, which are often harmful. To find the patterns
#' defining the hot spots, we developed our novel predictor of amyloidogenicity
#' AmyloGram, based on random forests.
#'
#' AmyloGram is available as R function (\code{\link{predict.ag_model}}) or
#' shiny GUI (\code{\link{AmyloGram_gui}}).
#'
#' The package is enriched with the benchmark data set \code{\link{pep424}}.
