title: 'Rpgen: Vendored ''PLINK 2'' pgenlib with a C-Callable Genotype Reader API'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.Rpgen
abstract: 'Vendors the read subset of ''PLINK 2''s pgenlib library (<https://github.com/chrchang/plink-ng>),
  the same subset the CRAN package ''pgenlibr'' vendors and builds, as a static library
  and exposes it through ''R_RegisterCCallable'' C-callable entry points. Also vendors
  plink2''s own import closure (''VcfToPgen'', ''BcfToPgen'', ''OxBgenToPgen'', ''OxGenToPgen'',
  ''OxHapslegendToPgen'', ''Plink1DosageToPgen'') so a VCF, BCF, BGEN, Oxford .gen,
  Oxford .haps/.legend, or legacy PLINK 1 --import-dosage file can be converted to
  a ''.pgen'' and read back through this package''s own reader, without a separate
  ''htslib''-based parser. This is a carrier package: it has no high-level R modeling
  API of its own beyond a milestone smoke test that opens a ''.pgen'' file and reports
  its sample and variant counts. Other R packages link to it (''LinkingTo'') to read
  ''PLINK 2'' genotype files natively from their own C or C++ code, which ''pgenlibr''
  does not expose, since it only offers an R-level interface.'
