abstract: 'The igblastr package provides functions to conveniently install and use
  a local IgBLAST installation from within R. The package also includes a set of built-in
  IgBLAST-compatible germline databases from OGRDB, the AIRR Community’s Open Germline
  Receptor Database, for various organisms. It provides functions to create additional
  IgBLAST-compatible germline databases using reference sequences retrieved from IMGT/V-QUEST
  or local FASTA files supplied by the user. When possible, annotations for the V
  and J alleles in a new germline database are automatically computed and added to
  the database, so they can be used as replacements for the internal and auxiliary
  data shipped with IgBLAST. IgBLAST is described at <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23671333/>.
  IgBLAST web interface: <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/igblast/>. OGRDB: <https://ogrdb.airr-community.org/>.
  IMGT/V-QUEST download site: <https://www.imgt.org/download/V-QUEST/>.'
