Separates DNA mixtures using a statistical model within a greedy algorithm.
The use of the package is controlled by an user friendly GUI (Graphical
User Interface). The implementation is able to separate two- and
three-person DNA mixtures and provide diagnostic plots and parameter values.

After the package is loaded by library(mixsep) the GUI is started by
writing mixsep() in the R prompt. However, on Windows operating systems
it is recommended to use the makeShortcut()-function for easy and fast
execution of the user interface.
