    abstract = {Given the widespread use of the variant call format
      (VCF/BCF) coupled with continuous surge in big data, there
      remains a perpetual demand for fast and flexible methods to
      manipulate these comprehensive formats across various programming
      languages.This work presents vcfpp, a C++ API of HTSlib in a
      single file, providing an intuitive interface to manipulate
      VCF/BCF files rapidly and safely, in addition to being portable.
      Moreover, this work introduces the vcfppR package to demonstrate
      the development of a high-performance R package with vcfpp,
      allowing for rapid and straightforward variants analyses.vcfpp is
      available from https://github.com/Zilong-Li/vcfpp under MIT
      license. vcfppR is available from
      https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/vcfppR.},
