abstract: 'Provides functions and a Shiny application to design plate layouts for
  constructing synthetic communities (SynComs) from a pool of strains using 24-, 96-
  and 384-well microplates. The method generates all possible strain combinations
  in a scalable, low-cost workflow suitable for high-throughput experiments. Reference:
