		'shiny' Application for Population Structure and Ancestry
		Assessments // Provides a 'shiny' web application developed by
		the Breeding Insight team to support pedigree validation and
		ancestry assessment of plant and animal populations. The app
		integrates Mendelian error analysis, parentage assignment and
		genetic composition/ancestry methods to help researchers
		evaluate genomic relationships through an accessible, web-based
		interface without requiring command-line tools. Pedigree
		validation, Mendelian error analysis and parentage assignment
		build on the 'BIGpopA' package
		(https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=BIGpopA). Ancestry
		estimation uses the sparse non-negative matrix factorization
		method of Frichot et al. (2014) doi:10.1534/genetics.113.160572
		as implemented in the 'LEA' package by Frichot and Francois
		(2015) doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12382. Line and breed composition
		are estimated using the breed composition regression method of
		Funkhouser et al. (2017) doi:10.2527/tas2016.0003, extended to
		polyploid species by Sandercock et al. (2025)
		doi:10.1002/tpg2.70067.
