Description

V. low priority, but one good feature to have will be to calculate for any mouse the number of back-crosses in its ancestry. That is, if you look up the family tree - this mouse was born to BP17, which came from BP9, which came from BP2, etc - how many of those BPs had a C57 parent? Each one counts as a back-cross, and the mouse gets a designation like "N4F2" which means "there were 4 back-crosses, then the most recent two generations were not back-crosses". Can discuss further when we get there. This requires a way to specify this information for the "founder" subjects, but then calculate it automatically for all the others all the way down.

Sub-feature is to alert Charu, e.g. via email, when the mice get to F5 (at which point they are due for another back-crossing).
