Why it matters in GWAS

Building or debugging native extensions, reading legacy toolchains, or reasoning about memory-mapped genotype files frequently touches C conventions (structs, pointers, ABI) even when day-to-day analysis is scripted.

Example usage

"The third-party library exposed a thin C API we wrapped with ctypes from our QC driver."

Related-term network

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
