echotabix: Converts genomic data files to tabix format

(including liftover, sorting, compression, and indexing steps) with a single function. Retrieves local or remote tabix VCF/tabular files with helper functions for creating queries from subsets of genomic data (e.g GWAS/QTL loci, genomic ranges). Multiple methods available at each step, including wrapper functions for an up-to-date, conda-based installation of htslib tools.

This R package is part of the echoverse suite that supports echolocatoR: an automated genomic fine-mapping pipeline.
