Reference database manager offering a set of functions
    to import, organize, clean, filter, audit and export reference genetic
    data. Provide functions to download sequence data from
    NCBI GenBank <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/>.
    Designed as an environment for semi-automatic and assisted
    construction of reference databases and to improve standardization
    and repeatability in barcoding and metabarcoding studies.

Allows users to easily create references to R objects then
    'dereference' when needed or modify in place without using reference 
    classes, environments, or active bindings as workarounds. Users can 
    also create expression references that allow subsets of any object to 
    be referenced or expressions containing references to multiple 
    objects.

This is a collection of tools to allow the medical professional to
 calculate appropriate reference ranges (intervals) with confidence intervals around
 the limits for diagnostic purposes.

A suite of methods to fit and predict case count data using 
    a compartmental SIRS (Susceptible – Infectious – Recovered – Susceptible) 
    model, based on an assumed specification of the effective reproduction 
    number. The significance of this approach is that it relates epidemic 
    progression to the average number of contacts of infected individuals, 
    which decays as a function of the total susceptible fraction remaining 
    in the population. The main functions are pred.curve(), which computes 
    the epidemic curve for a set of parameters, and estimate.mle(), which 
    finds the best fitting curve to observed data. The easiest way to pass 
    arguments to the functions is via a config file, which contains input 
    settings required for prediction, and the package offers two methods, 
    navigate_to_config()  which points the user to the configuration file, 
    and re_predict() for starting the fit-predict process. The main model was published in
    Razvan G. Romanescu et al. <doi:10.1016/j.epidem.2023.100708>.
