chooseAllelesChar

vector with first parent alleles for each individual

vector with second parent alleles for each individual
<code>a1</code> and <code>a2</code> are equal length vectors of alleles for one
individual

Combines two vectors by randomly selecting one allele
or the other at each position. Alleles may be of any class that
does not require attributes as the vectors are combined with <code>c()</code>.

Provides genetic tools for colony management and is a derivation
of the work in Amanda Vinson and Michael J Raboin (2015)
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/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.
