SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP156.GRCh38

SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP156.GRCh38_0.99.24.tar.gz is 6.7G and contains 989,474,892 rs ids.

Install it with: 

library(BiocManager)
repos <- c("http://149.165.171.124/SNPlocs/", BiocManager::repositories())
install.packages("SNPlocs.Hsapiens.dbSNP156.GRCh38", repos=repos)
