The Viterbi algorithm implemented in the HMM v1.0 package (15) in R (9) was used to estimate the sequence K.	HMM suggested: (Hmmer, RRID:SCR_005305)
For the implementation we used the following packages: shiny v1.4.0 (16), shinydashboard v0.7.1 (17), shinydashboardPlus v0.7.0 (18), readxl v1.3.1 (19), shinyalert v1.0 (20), httr v1.4.1 (21) and plotly v4.9.2 (22), all available on CRAN (Comprehensive R Archive Network, https://cran.r-project.org/).	CRAN suggested: (CRAN, RRID:SCR_003005)
