Description: Look up genes, variants and proteins from R, without writing a
    client for every biological web service. Each service gets one client that
    makes the request and returns a table. Parsing is a separate function that
    needs no network, so it can run on a saved response and be tested offline.
    Transport, retries, caching and error handling are left to the 'biohttp'
    package. Dependencies for single services are optional, so you do not
    install what you will not use. The services covered include 'Ensembl',
    described in Dyer et al. (2025) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkae1071>, 'UniProt', in
    The UniProt Consortium (2025) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkae1010>, 'gnomAD', in Chen
    et al. (2024) <doi:10.1038/s41586-023-06045-0>, 'Open Targets', in Buniello
    et al. (2025) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkae1128>, and the 'AlphaFold' Protein
    Structure Database, in Varadi et al. (2024) <doi:10.1093/nar/gkad1011>.
    Each client's help page cites the service it calls.
