haploR: an R package for querying web-based annotation tools [version 2; referees: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We developed haploR, an R package for querying web based genome annotation tools HaploReg and RegulomeDB. haploR gathers information in a data frame which is suitable for downstream bioinformatic analyses. This will facilitate post-genome wide association studies streamline analysis for rapid discovery and interpretation of genetic associations.
