getDescendantPedigree

Filters a pedigree down to only the descendants of the provided group,
building the pedigree forward in time starting from a group of probands.
This is the downward (descendants-only) mirror of
<code>getProbandPedigree</code>: it takes the transitive closure over
offspring and returns the probands together with all of their descendants.
It does not include collateral relatives (siblings, cousins, or mates).

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' 'mulatta')".
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.
