In comoto-pasteur-fr/DNABarcodeCompatibility: A Tool for Optimizing Combinations of DNA Barcodes Used in Multiplexed Experiments on Next Generation Sequencing Platforms

#' @title 
#' Get a large set of compatible combinations.
#'
#' @description 
#' Finds a randomly generated set of at most 1000 combinations
#' of compatible barcodes.
#'
#' @usage 
#' get_random_combinations(index_df, mplex_level, platform)
#'
#' @param index_df A dataframe containing barcodes identifiers, corresponding
#' DNA sequences along with GC content and presence of homopolymers.
#' @param mplex_level The number at which the barcodes will be multiplexed.
#' Illumina recommends to not multiplex more than 96 libraries.
#' @param platform An integer representing the number of channels (1, 2, 4)
#' of the desired Illumina platform: 1 for iSeq; 2 for NextSeq, NovaSeq,
#' MiniSeq; 4 for HiSeq and MiSeq. 0 represents any other platform than
#' Illumina.
#'
#' @details 
#' This function is suited if the total number of possible combinations is too
#' high for an exhaustive search to be possible in a reasonable amount of time.
#'
#' @return 
#' A matrix containing the identifiers of compatible barcode combinations.
