AncesTrim (Niskanen, Salmela, and Lohi 2017) is a Python tool for trimming complex pedigrees. Some pedigree data can have an inherently complicated structure with a high level of inbreeding, which makes visualization of such data difficult. AncesTrim reduces the complexity of pedigrees while preserving critical relatedness structures, allowing the pedigree to be displayed in a more efficient way.
