getPedMaxAge

Get the maximum age of live animals in the pedigree.

Provides genetic tools for colony management and is a derivation
of the work in Amanda Vinson and Michael J Raboin (2015)
<https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4671785/> "A Practical
Approach for Designing Breeding Groups to Maximize Genetic Diversity in a
Large Colony of Captive Rhesus Macaques ('Macaca' 'mulatto')".
It provides a 'Shiny' application with an exposed API.
The application supports five groups of functions:
(1) Quality control of studbooks contained in text files or 'Excel'
workbooks and of pedigrees within 'LabKey' Electronic Health Records
(EHR);
(2) Creation of pedigrees from a list of animals using the 'LabKey' EHR
integration;
(3) Creation and display of an age by sex pyramid plot of the living
animals within the designated pedigree;
(4) Generation of genetic value analysis reports; and
(5) Creation of potential breeding groups with and without proscribed sex
ratios and defined maximum kinships.
