title: 'bioclients: Clients for Biological Database Web Services'
version: 0.1.1.9000
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.bioclients
abstract: Look up genes, variants and proteins from R, without writing a client for
  every biological web service. Each service gets one client that makes the request
  and returns a table. Parsing is a separate function that needs no network, so it
  can run on a saved response and be tested offline. Transport, retries, caching and
  error handling are left to the 'biohttp' package. Dependencies for single services
  are optional, so you do not install what you will not use. The services covered
  include 'Ensembl', described in Dyer et al. (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae1071>,
  'UniProt', in The UniProt Consortium (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae1010>,
  'gnomAD', in Chen et al. (2024) <https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06045-0>, 'Open
  Targets', in Buniello et al. (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae1128>, and
  the 'AlphaFold' Protein Structure Database, in Varadi et al. (2024) <https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad1011>.
  Each client's help page cites the service it calls.
