Facilitates the design and generation of optimal color (or symbol) codes that can be used to mark and identify individual animals. These codes are made such that the IDs are robust to partial erasure: even if sections of the code are lost, the entire identity of the animal can be reconstructed. Thus, animal subjects are not confused and no ambiguity is introduced.

Conduct simulations of the Response Adaptive Block Randomization (RABR) design to evaluate its type I error rate, power and operating characteristics for binary and continuous endpoints. For more details of the proposed method, please refer to Zhan et al. (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9104>.

Solves the individual bioenergetic balance for different aquaculture sea fish (Sea Bream and Sea Bass; Brigolin et al., 2014 <doi:10.3354/aei00093>) and shellfish (Mussel and Clam; Brigolin et al., 2009 <doi:10.1016/j.ecss.2009.01.029>; Solidoro et al., 2000 <doi:10.3354/meps199137>). Allows for spatialized model runs and population simulations.

Provides a flexible framework for implementing hierarchical access 
    control in 'shiny' applications. Features include user permission management 
    through a two-tier system of access panels and units, pluggable 'shiny' 
    module for administrative interfaces, and support for multiple storage 
    backends (local, 'AWS S3', 'Posit Connect'). The system enables fine-grained
    control over application features, with built-in audit trails and user 
    management capabilities. Integrates seamlessly with 'Posit Connect's 
    authentication system.

Application of 'RaceID' allows inference of cell types and prediction of lineage trees by the 'StemID2' algorithm (Herman, J.S., Sagar, Grun D. (2018) <DOI:10.1038/nmeth.4662>). 'VarID2' is part of this package and allows quantification of biological gene expression noise at single-cell resolution (Rosales-Alvarez, R.E., Rettkowski, J., Herman, J.S., Dumbovic, G., Cabezas-Wallscheid, N., Grun, D. (2023) <DOI:10.1186/s13059-023-02974-1>).
